College major and license?

So I'm a rising high school senior. I think I'm going to major in Spanish and get my teaching license to teach high school Spanish. I live in TN, but I'm interested in going to a college in SC. If I end up going out of state, when I get my license will I have to teach in SC? Can I graduate in SC but get a TN license? Or is it licensed by state?

    Most states (including Tennessee and South Carolina) have reciprocal teacher certification agreements the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate Certification Contract.

    I would suggest that you look at the Spanish teacher certification requirements for both states, and make sure you take the proper classes to qualify in either state. That way, you can decide which state you want to be licensed in, instead of having it decided for you.
