Emmaus University Professional Licensure Disclosure
Pursuant to U.S. Federal Regulations 34 CFR 668.14(b)(32), Emmaus University is required to disclose consumer information regarding curricular programs that “foreseeably lead” to careers requiring state licensure. This regulation requires Emmaus University to determine whether or not a licensure-related program meets the educational requirements for professional licensure in each U.S. state or territory.
This policy is in accordance with U.S. Federal Regulations amendment 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v) & (c) effective as of July 1, 2024. This policy also meets the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) rules listed in the most recent handbook.
Emmaus University academic programs have been designed to meet the licensure/certification requirements in the state of Iowa. Prior to enrollment in the program, a student must complete the attestation document to verify the state of residence and to attest to the state seeking employment following program completion.
Students who intend to return or move to any state other than Iowa need to review the professional licensure disclosures pertaining to their program and consult with the appropriate state professional licensing board. Licensure requirements vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change. A student considering a program that leads to licensure should contact the licensing agency for the state or territory in which they intend to practice to confirm the most current requirements.
Emmaus University makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that successful completion of the degree or certificate program will permit or guarantee that a state board or licensing agency will accept a graduate’s application for licensure. Licensure requirements vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change. A student considering a program that leads to licensure should contact the licensing agency for the state or territory in which they intend to practice to confirm the most current requirements. No statement made at any time by any member of the Emmaus University faculty or any other representative of Emmaus University shall be deemed to be such a representation, warranty, or commitment.
The Teacher Education Program (TEP) at Emmaus University provides coursework which meets the criteria approved for certification by the State of Iowa Department of Education. Those seeking an education license in another state may review the TEP reciprocity document linked below which outlines whether the Iowa License “meets” or “does not meet” that state or territory’s provisional license.

The research completed for the Iowa IHE Licensure Reciprocity was completed by colleagues from all Iowa Higher Education Institutions with Educator Preparation Programs. The research was then verified by another colleague from a different institution to serve as a third-party reviewer. Reviews will occur annually in conjunction with the Iowa Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (IACTE) conference each fall after the previous year’s legislative session has closed.
