Emporia State University Teacher/Specialist/Leadership Licensing

Licensing in any state can be confusing, including in Kansas!  The Emporia State University Licensure Officer has provided information here to help guide you through the process and assist you in understanding what you need. Most information for licensing comes from the Regulations and Standards for Kansas Educators from the Kansas State Department of Education website.

Contact the ESU Licensure Officer, Shannon Hall, when you need assistance or just have questions!  She can be reached by phone at 620-341-5412 or by email at shall6@emporia.edu.

Please check these pages periodically for new information that may have occurred due to state licensing changes or ESU program changes.
