Boise State University’s Master degree programs in Education meet professional licensure standards and makes students eligible for recommendation for teaching certification in the state of Idaho. Obtaining certification in Idaho meets Nevada requirements for teacher certification through the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement.
Licensure in Nevada will be dependent upon alignment of a student’s Idaho teaching certification with a teaching field or instructional support area, and at a grade level in which Nevada offers comparable certification. All jurisdictions that participate in the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement may choose to have additional requirements for educators who are coming from another jurisdiction. These additional requirements are known as “Jurisdiction Specific Requirements” (JSRs). Most times, these additional requirements vary upon the educator’s years of experience. Some jurisdictions, however, consider themselves “full-reciprocity” and do not have any additional requirements. For more information, visit NASDTEC webpage “Information for Out of State Applicants” and Nevada’s Department of Education website.

One important guideline is that reciprocity is always easier if a student completes the certification requirements and obtains a teaching credential in Idaho before applying for certification in another state. Teacher Education programs at Boise State are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
