Continuing Professional Education Credits

The College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts, which houses the Department of Literature and Languages, has been approved as a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Provider in Texas. The continuing professional education provider number (CPE#) for College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts at Texas A&M University-Commerce is # 116-501.

From a state other than Texas?

No problem! Some states don't require us to file as a credit provider (e.g., Oklahoma), in which case, the hours you earn from this event can be submitted as professional development hours/credits/points in your own state (following any additional state requirements you might have; e.g., school administrator approval).

If your state, like Texas, does require providers to formally apply for CPE provider status, let us know! We're open to applying for provider status in other states.
