CVPA offers the following paths to licensure programs:

Content Area Review – Endorsement Worksheet

All applicants for licensure programs must create an endorsement account and complete the Endorsement worksheet associated with their intended program. You will also be required to submit your transcripts during this process. Both the Endorsement worksheet and your transcripts will be reviewed by the College of Education and Human Development Pre-Education Advising Coordinator. An approved Endorsement Worksheet must be submitted during the application process. Learn more about Content Area Review

Licensure

George Mason University will verify completion of the requirements of a Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) state-approved preparation program at the graduate or undergraduate level. Such verification does not guarantee the issuance of a Virginia Collegiate Professional, Postgraduate Professional, or Pupil Personnel license from the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is solely the student's responsibility to comply with all requirements for licensure by the Commonwealth. Under Virginia law, a social security number is required for licensure.
