Randall University (RU) provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification for the degrees of Elementary Education, History & Social Studies Education, Math Education, and Biology Education within the School of Education.
Both State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual version 22.1 and U.S. Federal Regulation 34 C.F.R. §668.43(a)(5)(v) (2023 Rules) requires institutions to disclose educational requirements for a specific profession.
Specifically, 34 C.F.R § 668.43(a)(5)(v) rule states:
If an educational program is designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment in an occupation, or is advertised as meeting such requirements, information regarding whether completion of that program would be sufficient to meet licensure requirements in a State for that occupation, including –
(A) A list of all States for which the institution has determined that its curriculum meets the State educational requirements for licensure or certification;
(B) A list of all States for which the institution has determined that its curriculum does not meet the State educational requirements for licensure or certification; and

This disclosure does not provide any guarantee that any particular state licensure or certification entity will approve or deny your application. Furthermore, this disclosure does not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect your application for licensure and occur after this disclosure has been made. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their State’s licensure entity using the links provided to review all licensure and certification requirements imposed by their state(s) of choice.
