Who We Are

Through the UNC Asheville teacher licensure program, you will have the opportunity to pursue the subject you love while attaining a license to teach it! In four years, you can graduate with both a bachelor’s degree in a specific subject and a teaching license, making you marketable in two areas.

What You’ll Learn

With a liberal arts foundation, UNC Asheville graduates are teachers who have broad perspective; who think critically, reflectively and creatively; who are humane and committed to meeting the learning needs of all students; and who guide students using active inquiry to become effective and productive citizens in the 21st century.

The department also offers post-baccalaureate opportunities for individuals who already hold a bachelor's degree or higher and desire an initial North Carolina Standard Professional I Teaching License.
