Educator Licensing Disclosure Statement

Harding University’s Cannon-Clary College of Education provides state-approved educator programs of study that, along with other qualifying criteria, allow candidates to apply for respective educator licenses in the state of Arkansas. If a candidate qualifies for and receives an educator license from the state of Arkansas, he or she may then be eligible for license reciprocity with other states. It will be the responsibility of the candidate to determine what requirements may be in place in the state they choose to apply for a license. The programs of study may not necessarily meet other states’ requirements for licensing in those states. It will be the responsibility of the candidate to ascertain what program and state requirements will be necessary in the state they choose to apply for an educator license.
