Successful completion of the programs listed below, which includes both degree completion and passage of examinations required by the Delaware Department of Education, meet Delaware requirements for licensure and certification as indicated:

If you are seeking licensure and/or certification outside, Delaware, please be informed that Delaware is a signatory to the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate Agreement, which “facilitates the mobility of educators among the states and other jurisdictions that are members of NASDTEC and have signed the Agreement. Although there may be conditions applicable to individual jurisdictions, the Agreement makes it possible for an educator who completed an approved program and/or who holds a certificate or license in one jurisdiction to earn a certificate or license in another state or jurisdiction….Receiving states may impose certain special requirements which must be met in a reasonable period of time” (https://www.nasdtec.net/page/Interstate).

If you have questions about licensure and/or certification, please contact the Center for Excellence and Equity in Teacher Preparation Certification Office (dcte-cert@udel.edu) or visit the CEETP website (dcte.udel.edu) for more information.
