Education Licensure
The Lynch School of Education and Human Development (LSEHD) at Boston College offers Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Master of Education (M.Ed.), Master of Arts (M.A) in School Counseling, and programs that prepare undergraduate and graduate students for Initial licensure in fields of education, educational leadership and counseling. Boston College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). The teacher education, educational leadership and school counseling programs are based in Massachusetts and approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for Initial licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In order to teach in Massachusetts public schools, educators must be licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) in the field, role, and grade level of the license sought. To be eligible for the initial license, applicants must complete an approved educator preparation program that leads to the desired license. Completion of Boston College’s approved educator preparation program includes the program of study along with a practicum in the state of Massachusetts; it is important to note that all practicum hours must be completed in a Massachusetts PK-12 school setting and under supervision from Boston College.
Successful completion of LSEHD program requirements leads to endorsement for Initial licensure to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Program endorsement, along with successful completion of the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTELs), enables students to receive an Initial license as an educator in Massachusetts. The initial license is valid for five years and may be renewed once for an additional five years.
As of July 1, 2014, educators applying for their first Initial license in Massachusetts must obtain the Sheltered English Instruction (SEI) Endorsement. Teacher candidates can qualify for the SEI Endorsement by successfully completing the state-approved teacher education programs at Boston College that lead to initial licensure in Massachusetts. The requirements for endorsement are embedded into the undergraduate and graduate Programs of Study. Candidates earn this endorsement by completing the approved Program of Study for the designated initial licensure program and graduating from Boston College.
The LSEHD programs outlined below meet the educational requirements for an Initial license in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

You’ll need to have earned a Professional License after teaching under an Initial License for 5 years as the teacher of record (main teacher in a classroom) in a public school. A Professional License indicates that you have deepened content knowledge. The Lynch School of Education and Human Development does not offer master’s degree programs leading to Professional Licensure.
To get a Professional License, you must:
- Hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution
- Hold an Initial License
- Have completed at least 3 years of public or private school teaching experience under the Initial License, a one-year mentor induction plan (concurrent with year one), and 50 hours of mentoring beyond the first year
- If you don’t have a master’s degree, complete an approved master’s degree program leading to Professional Licensure (see Other Options for Professional License if you already have a master's degree)
The Professional License is valid for 5 calendar years, and you must renew it every 5 years. You may begin coursework toward this license as soon as you earn your Initial License.
Other Options for Professional License:
Twelve-Credit Post Master’s Option for Professional Licensure: If you have a master’s degree and an Initial License, you can complete 12 credits of graduate coursework in the same subject matter area as your Initial License to meet part of the requirements for a Professional License in that same field.
Adding Another Initial License to Move an Existing Initial License to Professional: Completing an approved licensure program for Special Education for Moderate Support Needs or Curriculum and Instruction will enable candidates to add another Initial License, and 12 of those credits may advance some Initial Licenses to Professional.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a participating member of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate Agreement. This agreement is designed to provide pathways for educators seeking licensure in a different state/territory than where they completed an educator preparation program and/or hold a license and/or certificate. Graduates of Boston College’s state-approved teacher education programs may be eligible for out-of-state licensure through reciprocity in the states and territories participating in the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement. Please note the following, as it applies to reciprocity through this interstate agreement:
- The NASDTEC Interstate Agreement does not automatically grant reciprocity to individuals seeking to move among and between member states and territories and “each state is responsible for its own certification/licensure requirements, which may change without notice to NASDTEC or your university's certification officers or your state's office of certification” (https://www.nasdtec.net/page/InterstateAgreements).
- The interstate agreement does not exempt individuals from degree, testing and/or additional prerequisite requirements applicable to the license sought in the participating state.
- Individuals seeking reciprocity as an academic teacher in Massachusetts, for example, are required to secure a Sheltered English Language (SEI) endorsement to be eligible for an initial license. Individuals seeking licensure outside of Massachusetts are encouraged to review the reciprocity guidelines and regulations from the appropriate state department of education and/or licensing body.
- Each participating NASDTEC state ultimately determines which license a graduate is eligible for through reciprocity.
You may contact the Office of Field Placement & Partnership Outreach, prac@bc.edu for more information about how to determine whether the program meets requirements for licensure or certification in the state in which you plan to practice.
