Students who have earned master’s degrees may add on licensure at the graduate level in the areas of Academically and Intellectually Gifted, Curriculum and Instruction Supervision, English as a Second Language, Language and Literacy, Mathematics, and School Administration. Candidates must meet with the Program Coordinator for the licensure area to have an individual Plan of Study developed for program completion. Up to six hours from a previous master’s degree may be counted towards the add-on licensure. Candidates must apply and be accepted to the Graduate School as add-on-licensure students to enroll in courses for add-on licensure unless they are completing the requirements as part of a degree program. In addition to completion of coursework and internships, Praxis II Specialty Area examinations are required for licensure recommendation except for the Academically and Intellectually Gifted add-on licensure.

Students who have completed a Bachelor’s degree and currently hold a valid NC Teaching License may add-on licensure in the areas of Academically and Intellectually Gifted and English as a Second Language.

Students who have completed a Bachelor’s degree but do not currently hold a valid NC Teaching License may complete the add-on licensure program in the area of English as a Second Language, but will not earn licensure as a result of this coursework.
