Licensure Programs<\/h4>

*Leads to licensure by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)*<\/em>
<\/strong>
A student\u2019s plan of study is designed to meet licensure requirements according to Arkansas Law. Southern Arkansas University is not responsible for courses required for licensure if the state changes requirements after the student\u2019s program is approved. Earning a master\u2019s degree from Southern Arkansas University does not mean that the degree recipient will receive a license. The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) <\/em>or other licensing agency determines who will receive a license.
Note: For a candidate holding a graduate degree, Southern Arkansas University will review the candidate\u2019s credentials on an individual basis and develop a program of study based on licensure requirements.<\/p>
