Licensing and leadership development for educational administrators

Applying to the program

Licensure program application (required for entry into the program) [.doc]

Community and alternative education cohort application [.pdf] [also available as a .doc]

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. In addition to a completed application and a 1-2 page essay (see application for instructions), there is a program fee of $550, which is applied to the costs of the pre-assessment, pre-panel, and panel reviews.

Students pursuing multiple endorsements pay $550 for the first license and $275 for subsequent licenses. Students pursuing a Ph.D. or Ed.D. in addition to an administrative license are charged a program fee of $275 for each license sought. Applications to the doctoral and licensure programs are separate processes. Only three-credit licensure courses that have been approved by the candidate's adviser may be counted toward an Ed.D. or Ph.D. If you are considering doing both, contact Ann Werner at licensure@umn.edu.

No GRE scores are required.
