The Education Programs at Caldwell University prepares candidates for New Jersey licensure. Successful completion of an Education Program and New Jersey Praxis testing requirements will lead to a New Jersey teaching certification. Candidates who are seeking licensure in other states must obtain more information by contacting the licensure agencies in the respective states.

To ensure a state’s reciprocity with New Jersey, please check the current status for each state at the time of certification. It is best to complete the New Jersey Certification and then apply for reciprocity in another state. It is important to note that each state has some reciprocity with New Jersey when one holds a NJ Certification. However, there may be other requirements such as specific test scores that need to be completed for a certification in a different state. 

At this time, full reciprocity between the State of New Jersey for Teacher, Administrative, Educational Services, and Support Certifications has been established with the following states:

• Arkansas
• Florida
• Iowa
• Idaho
• Illinois
• North Carolina
• Oklahoma
• Rhode Island
• South Carolina

It is important to note that the reciprocity between the states may change at any time. For more information related to certification reciprocity, visit https://www.ecs.org/teacher-license-reciprocity-state-profiles/.
