Marian University’s 100% online Alternative Education License program empowers licensed educators to expand their impact by earning an add-on license specifically designed for teaching in alternative education settings in Wisconsin. This graduate-level licensure pathway prepares you to better understand, assess, and reach students who have struggled to thrive in traditional classrooms—helping you bring meaningful change to learners who need it most.

Delivered online with flexible start dates and meaningful coursework from faculty experienced in at-risk education, this licensure program fits into your life while enhancing your professional credentials. The credits you earn can also be applied later toward Marian’s Master of Arts in Education, At-Risk and Alternative Education degree if you choose to continue your graduate studies.

Take the next step in your teaching career by gaining the skills, confidence, and license to support diverse learners in grades 4–12 and make a deeper difference in your school and community.

This graduate-level program leads to an Alternative Education add-on license granted under Wisconsin DPI code 1952.
