Licensing Accreditation
- The Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board approves education programs for licensure. Currently, the early childhood education, elementary education, middle, and most secondary education programs are approved.
Students who successfully complete program requirements and meet the Minnesota requirements for licensure are eligible for a Minnesota license.
To ensure that all teacher graduates are assignable anywhere in our country, MLC requires all teacher graduates to be eligible for a Tier 3 Minnesota license. Note: Minnesota licensure requirements are subject to change at any time.
The Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB), formerly the Minnesota Board of Teaching, upon the request of a student preparing for teacher licensure or a licensed graduate of the college’s teacher preparation program, will assist in resolving a dispute between the person and Martin Luther College when the dispute involves the college’s recommendation for licensure affecting the person’s credentials.
