Obtaining a licensure addition is a great way to expand the content areas that you are qualified to teach in, making it even simpler to find a job you love.

As a rule, licensure addition programs prepare you to meet the standards established by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) for teaching in the chosen area. However, they aren't specifically designed to enhance your performance on a developmental basis, so they don't add to or change the level of your license.

If you add a licensure addition while you are a student in the Teacher Education program, you will complete eight weeks of regular student teaching and eight weeks of student teaching in the licensure addition (divided between 7 credit hours of regular student teaching and 7 credit hours in the license edition).
