Certification (SBEC) for issuance of the certificate.

 Currently, courses are offered online through Academic Partnerships.  Check out the Academic Partnerships website (click here) to find out more information.

Required EDAD courses for Superintendent Certification: 6179, 6279, 6371, 6373, 6374, and 6378.

CERTIFICATION: Candidates must pass all appropriate state exams and apply for appropriate state certifications with the State Board
for Educator Certification / Texas Education Agency within six months of the completion of their student teaching, internship, or practicum program.
If a candidate allows the six month period to go by without passing all state exams and applying for certification, additional coursework
and/or state exams will be required for recommendation for certification. Additional coursework will be determined by the appropriate
Program Director in consultation with the faculty.
