Online undergraduate and graduate degrees offered by accredited distance learning programs provide quality instruction and, in the case of state approved programs, traditional certification. Online masters degree programs in education are available specializations in reading & literacy, teaching elementary school, middle school, high school, special education and more. When choosing an online degree program, prospective students may want to look into certification reciprocity between the state they will gain certification in and the state in which they intend to teach. Although certification reciprocity facilitates movement, teachers still must meet the receiving state's certification requirements. Because states are continually revising their teacher certification/licensure rules and requirements, students should check with their state Department of Education for specific requirements.
