Students with undergraduate degrees may earn a teaching license by taking courses full time in one of OWU's undergraduate teacher licensure programs. It typically takes 4 or 5 semesters to complete the licensure requirements, including a semester of student teaching.
Ohio Wesleyan University does not offer graduate programs. We welcome to our programs students who have bachelor's degrees and now wish to pursue licensure. We have found students with undergraduate degrees to be highly motivated; they often bring rich experiences and perspectives to their studies.
