North Carolina Birth-Kindergarten Advanced/M-level Licensure

Students who hold a current North Carolina Professional Educator’s license in Birth-Kindergarten (Initial/A-level) and successfully complete the MEdX program in Early Childhood Intervention and Family Support requirements earn both the M.Ed. degree and qualify for North Carolina Birth-Kindergarten Advanced (M-level) licensure. 

Birth-Kindergarten Add-On Licensure

Educators with licensure from North Carolina in other areas (e.g., Elementary Education, Special Education, Family and Consumer Science) may earn a Birth-Kindergarten Add-On license at the Initial/A level upon completing the program. 

Non-Licensure Option

Applicants without an active North Carolina Birth-Kindergarten license may enroll in the program but are required to sign a waiver acknowledging that licensure will not be granted upon completion. Prospective students should consult with the program director or licensure manager for guidance.
