The MSDE Educator Preparation and Program Approval Branch approves and reviews Maryland educator preparation programs leading to licensure. There are two types of approved programs in Maryland:
- Traditional - offered by a college or university, leading to a degree or post-baccalaureate certificate that includes coursework and a clinical internship.
- Alternative - established by a local education agency, institution of higher education, or nonprofit agency that leads to a participant receiving a resident teacher license and includes teaching assignments with supervision and mentoring by a qualified teacher.
