Education Professional Programs Approved by EPSB
Folio and Curriculum Contract Library

In the tables below you will find lists of the programs at WKU that have been approved by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB). This approval means that graduates of the indicated programs are eligible for a recommendation for certification and, thus, employment as teachers or other education professionals in Kentucky. For each listing you will find the following information: the program code number and the certification code letters (assigned by EPSB) and the name of the program. If the program is designed as an alternate route to certification, that status is indicated. Finally, you will find two links: one to the actual folio (the formal description of the program that was approved by the EPSB), and one to the curriculum contract (program admission requirements, required and elective courses, and program exit requirements). 'Initial certification' programs (whether undergraduate or graduate programs) are designed for those who do not yet hold a valid teaching certificate. 'Advanced certification' programs are designed for those already certified to work in schools but who are seeking a change in pay grade (rank change) and/or additional certification. An endorsement must be added to an existing certificate. Questions about the information provided on this page should be directed to Dr. Tony Norman.

Note: All linked files for Folios are in Microsoft word format ()
