About Wisconsin's Approved Programs and Educator Licensing
Under the program approval approach to educator licensing, graduates of Wisconsin colleges and universities are granted a license by the department based on the recommendation of the certifying officer of the institution at which they have successfully completed an approved program.

Wisconsin Education Approval Board
The Wisconsin Education Approval Board (EAB) authorizes private independent colleges and universities from outside of Wisconsin to offer degrees in Wisconsin. Some of these campuses may offer programs that lead to licensure in their home state. An individual who completes such a program may apply for a Wisconsin license as an out-of-state applicant. For information about EAB authorized colleges and universities operating in Wisconsin, see www.eab.state.wi.us.
