Non-Degree Special Education Early Childhood Intervention Licensure
Please be advised that the Plan of Study (this form) should be filed (meaning completed, signed by your faculty advisor and you, and
submitted to the Graduate Student Office in 418 White Hall) no later than the end of the second semester of coursework in the
program. Registration will be blocked at the end of the second semester until a plan of study has been submitted. Licensure
coursework and field-based experiences are prescribed based on the program approved for KSU by the Ohio Department of Education
(ODE). Previous coursework may be considered if appropriate and current. ODE requires that those eligible for licensure must have
12 hours of reading instruction coursework (3 hours of which must be reading instruction through a phonetic approach), in addition to
the program area specific courses. The courses prescribed on this form apply toward consideration by ODE for licensure. If you are
interested in a masters degree from KSU, you must be fully admitted into the program and complete the prescribed
coursework on the Master’s Degree prospectus in addition to courses that are prescribed here for Licensure.

The Special Education licensure ensures professionals are equipped to teach the range of ages in grades PreK-12. Therefore, your licensure
program must meet the requirements across the curriculum areas, which typically includes methods courses in reading, math, science, language
arts, and social studies. Your program should include such courses if you have not previously completed them. Additionally, the Ohio
licensure programs require professionals to complete 12 hours of reading instruction, 3 of which must emphasize phonics instruction.
If your program includes student teaching (graduate level for 4 or 8 credit hours), you must apply with the Office of Clinical Experiences in 304
White Hall one year in advance.
Licensure Requirement (not required for graduation):
Candidates seeking Ohio licensure are required to pass specific assessments in order to apply for licensure. Students should consult their advisors
for specific program requirements and refer to the See Ohio Department of Education-Educator Preparation website for more information on
assessments specific to licensure type.
All course work for licensure must be completed prior to student teaching.
