In an attempt to give Secondary/K-12 education students more potential areas of licensure, the School of Education, School of Arts and Sciences, and Batterman School of Business offer 22 certificates. The Department of Public Instruction within the state of Wisconsin has done restructuring of licensure programs that have greatly impacted the offerings within the Secondary/K-12 education department. These certificates present additional options for Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ students.

Secondary/K-12 students take a test after graduation to be eligible for additional licensure. As certificates, these are not exclusive to education students and can be pursued by any student at the university. (Please check with your advisor if you can take one of these certificates.)
