Out-of-State Licensing
To obtain information for out-of-state licensing, please refer to the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) website at http://www.nasdtec.org/agreement.php. Select the particular state of interest for license requirements and application procedures.
The State of Indiana has a compact agreement with the states listed below so that an individual holding a valid Indiana license may be able to obtain a license in these other states relatively easily. Contact the individual states since specific coursework, testing, or grade point averages may be required that are different than requirements for Indiana licensing. For out-of-state graduates, a valid license from one of the states listed below must be held in order to pursue an Indiana license via the Indiana Department of Education, Office of Educator Licensing and Development (www.doe.state.in.us/dps) through this Interstate Compact Agreement.
A Purdue University, West Lafayette Teacher Education Program completer may submit any out-of-state forms requesting verification of program completion to the Office of Professional Preparation and Licensure (see address below).
