Adams State University offers two online pathways for individuals seeking a teaching license in Colorado: the post-baccalaureate initial teacher license and the alternative licensure program.

The post-baccalaureate program is designed for those with a bachelor's degree pursuing initial licensure in elementary or secondary education, combining coursework, supervised field experience and a semester of student teaching with flexible start dates.

The alternative licensure program is intended for professionals already employed by a school district, offering licensure in elementary, secondary (English, mathematics, science, business and social studies) and K-12 education (music, visual arts, physical education and world languages).
