Physical Education Teacher Education Major (BS)

Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation requires institutions of higher education to make a determination whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. State where the institution is located and the U.S. States where “distance education” students are located at the time of initial enrollment in the program, as well as U.S. States where the program is advertised as meeting such requirements, and if applicable, the U.S. State where students attest they intend to be licensed/certified.

This program at SUNY Brockport is registered by the New York State Education Department and thus meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification for New York State. Through a good faith effort, and for the purpose of complying with the federal regulation, we have determined that this program at SUNY Brockport meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. States/Territories that are listed below.

However, it is important to note that SUNY Brockport is not the licensure/certification authority in these U.S. States/Territories and cannot assess whether an individual candidate will be issued a license/certificate in these U.S. States/Territories and instead it is incumbent on each individual candidate to contact the licensure/certification authority in the applicable U.S. State/Territory for any further guidance on the requirements for licensure/certification requirements and application processes.
