State Licensure

Students completing one of Gallaudet's D.C. state-approved license programs can be eligible for D.C. State License.

School Service Providers

For School Service Providers seeking a D.C. License (i.e., School Psychology, School Counseling, or School Social Work) contact the program director in your department.

School Educators

If you will be applying for a teaching license, we recommend that you get your DC teaching license first even if you will later get a license in another state. Why? Often the process is easier if you already have a license in the state in which you completed your program. The information below will help you with both processes.

• Getting a Teaching License from Another State
