About the Program
An adolescent and young adult license (AYA) in Ohio allows you to teach grades 7-12.
If you already hold a bachelor’s degree in an area other than education from a regionally accredited institution, then you may qualify for our post-baccalaureate licensure program.
Diversify yourself even more by adding just five specific graduate courses to any of these content areas to earn your Master of Arts in Education.
