What Is a Teaching License?
A teaching license is the state鈥檚 way of saying you鈥檙e ready to teach. It shows that you鈥檝e completed all the steps, like classes, tests, and time in schools. UNC鈥檚 programs are built to help you meet these state requirements so you can begin your teaching career with confidence.

Start Teaching Early
From the beginning of your program, you’ll work with real students and teachers in local schools. You’ll tutor, help small groups, and later teach full lessons, all while taking your classes. This hands on learning helps you gain confidence and real experience. By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to lead your own classroom.
