The College of Education does not offer certificate, licensure, or credentialing programs and therefore has made no determination regarding prerequisites for licensure or certification in any state or jurisdiction. Trident cannot guarantee that a graduate will be able to obtain state licensure or any other credential that may be required to secure employment in the field upon graduation or at any time in the future and cannot grant or certify any student for a credential as a teacher or administrator. Students seeking employment in a field requiring state licensure or any other credential should contact the education agency in the state where they would like to work for information about specific requirements or criteria as the requirements for certification, licensure, or credentialing vary from state to state.
