Graduation

- October 5 for December graduation
- March 5 for May graduation
- June 6 for August graduation
Licensure
All of the K-12 programs in teaching and school leadership lead to the North Carolina license. Students must complete the North Carolina and Western Carolina University licensure forms and apply for the license through the Teacher Education Programs office.
