The Office of Professional Preparation & Licensure (OPPL) goals are to provide friendly, knowledgeable and expedient services to all individuals who request assistance and information about teacher education at Purdue University. OPPL supports the Purdue University Teacher Education Council and accreditation activities by assisting prospective students, current students, faculty, staff, alumni, and P-12 educators with teacher preparation, licensure and continuing education needs.
OPPL processes students' applications for all teacher education programs, provides information about programs available at Purdue, and monitors students' progress for retention within programs. As a student, please be aware that admission to the Purdue University Teacher Education Programs is a separate and distinct step beyond admission to the University and that the standards for admission to, and retention in, teacher preparation programs are higher than those required to remain in good standing within the University. This office also provides explanation and interpretation of teacher licensing requirements. Students who have completed teacher education programs are evaluated and recommended for licenses. This office maintains licensing records and provides accreditation support.
