Q:  I have a non-EAD Masters degree and want to earn the Central Office Endorsement.  What do I do?

Meet with a program advisor to consider how you might jointly earn the School Administrator Certificate and the Central Office Endorsement through an expanded Ed.S or Ph.D degree program.

Q:  I earned an Ed.S. or Ph.D in K-12 Administration in 1996 or later. Can I apply for the Central Office Endorsement?

You must first hold School Administrator Certification.  Also, we are awaiting standards for awarding Central Office Administrators from the Michigan Department of Education. 

Q:  I earned administrator certification in another state.  Can I apply for the School Administrator Certificate in Michigan?

You must contact the Michigan Department of Education directly to learn how to apply for administrator certifications or endorsements as an out-of-state applicant.  Michigan State University can only make certification recommendations for its own graduates.  For more information, please see:  http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,1607,7-140-6530_5683_30306-90612--,00.html
