Developed for educators who are interested in pursuing licensure or certification as a teacher, the MEd in K-12 Instructional Technology: Teacher Licensure degree program prepares educators seeking to advance their professional careers. Candidates find coursework, including student teaching, designed to augment their professional knowledge, skills and aptitude.
The MEd in K-12 Instructional Technology: Teacher Licensure aligns with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE®), Colorado Department of Education (CDE), and Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) professional standards.

Certification and Licensure:
Jones International University provides programs that are acceptable for educator or educational administrator certificates in most states. The completion of a JIU degree program does not guarantee certification or licensure in any state – students must often complete applications or complete similar administrative requirements before they may obtain licensure. A small number of states currently require students to graduate from an educator/administrator program specifically approved by the state or accredited by a certain accreditor. All State licensure requirements are subject to change at any time. It is the student’s ultimate responsibility to determine the requirements for the state in which they intend to seek licensure, including any state where the student may relocate or intends to relocate. JIU performs periodic reviews of state requirements no more frequently than annually. As of November 15, 2011, JIU has determined based upon its independent research that Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee do not accept certain licensure applications from JIU students.
