Currently Iowa has a Regional Exchange License Agreement with Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota. Even though there is no direct exchange or reciprocal agreement with other states, most states will license Cornell graduates with little problem. There are always exceptions and new laws are being passed all of the time.
Some states require criminal background checks and many require some type of competency examination.
Applications and dates for testing are available at the Ebersole Student Center. Check with the Education Department early in your career planning to facilitate your application procedures. For those students not wishing to seek teacher licensing, interdisciplinary majors in educational studies, politics, psychology, or sociology are encouraged. Consult the Catalogue for details. For students wishing to earn teacher licensing in a 5th year of study, the Cornell Education Department will assist students in locating programs leading to special education licenses, MAT, MA and MS degrees.
