Q: Who regulates and issues teaching licenses?

A: Each state’s department of education maintains and regulates teaching certification/licensure.


Q: Can I complete this program and apply for licensure in my home state?

A: Regent University’s B.Ed. programs are designed for on-campus completion and lead to teacher licensure in Virginia. Graduates of our licensure-leading B.Ed. programs can become licensed as teachers in Virginia and then transfer their license (through reciprocity) to other states.

Other states vary in their requirements. Some states require teaching experience before transferring a license, and some states require none at all. Moreover, some states may still maintain certain testing requirements, while others will waive exams if already taken in Virginia. Some states require only an out-of-state educator preparation program (also known as an EPP) to initiate the licensing process.

These are all considerations to make when applying to a B.Ed. program at Regent University. We recommend that you research the department of education’s website for the state(s) you intend to teach in and contact them if necessary to determine if our program is suitable for your teaching career goals.


Q: Can I complete my practicum and field experience/student teaching in my home state?

A: Regent University’s B.Ed. programs are on-campus, and our faculty must oversee the practicum and field experience to maintain adherence to VDOE guidelines. Therefore, all B.Ed. students will complete their practicum and field experience with our local partnering schools in Virginia.


Q: What is NASDTEC?

A: The National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) is a professional organization that supports teacher licensure and reciprocity with all 50 states (plus DC) as members.

“It is neat to see people who care about excellence but aren’t haughty about it. They approach it with humility in their academics, their spiritual lives, and each other.”
Hannah Lillemo, B.A., 2020 Honors Program Graduate
“If I hadn’t gone to Regent, I’m not sure I would be ready for all of this responsibility right now.”
Brittany Finch, B.A. in Religious Studies, 2008 Business Owner
“Regent prepared me for steps I needed to take to start a business, as well as to lead one.”
Hunter Davis, MBA - International Business, 2019; J.D., 2013; B.A. in Government - American Government & Politics, 2010 Director, The American Environment Foundation; Co-Owner, Duck Donuts
“Honors College classes are much more focused on discussion and working with others to solve a problem. My experience was different from school: Instead of reading other peoples' data and writing a report on it, you're forming your own data and then reporting that.”
Allison Hodgkins, College of Arts & Sciences, 2022
“For anyone interested in developing the analytical skills required to make sense of complicated ideas, I encourage you to give Regent's Honors College a look. The relationships, skills and knowledge you'll gain through the discussion-based classes, and engaging assignments will benefit you in the years to come.”
Abigail Lindner, College of Arts & Sciences, 2022
