Reciprocity
Nebraska does not have full reciprocity with other states, but we do recognize approved teacher preparation programs from other states. The coursework needs to appear on an official transcript from a standard institution of higher education, which is defined as any college or university whose educator preparation program is fully approved by the board or comparable agency in any other state or country.
A Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) is also recognized as a pathway for initial certification.
For those who have completed alternative licensure in another state that does not appear on an official transcript from a standard institution of higher education, additional steps may need to be taken to become certified in Nebraska.
