Cedarville University’s online education degree programs are available for students living in select states and territories. Authorization requirements vary by location and by program, particularly for degrees that lead to professional licensure. The online primary education P–5 program meets Ohio’s educational requirements for teacher licensure. The program also meets out-of-state educational requirements for licensure in Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. For candidates in these states, the program provides a pathway to licensure through each state’s out-of-state licensure process, as Cedarville University is located outside their state of residence. Authorization status is subject to change. Students are responsible for understanding licensure and authorization requirements in their state of residence.
