Superintendent Certification Only

Educational Leadership and Policy Studies offers coursework and internships leading to Superintendent certification. Upon
completion of coursework, a passing score on the Superintendent Examination for the Certification of Educators in Texas
(TExES), and evidence of Principal or equivalent certification, candidates will be recommended to the State Board for Educator
Certification (SBEC) for issuance of the certificate. Currently, courses are offered in a cohort format beginning each fall and
concluded in the following summer.

The cohort program begins in the fall semester only. To ensure all students finish the program in the allotted time, the course
sequence is predetermined and all students will take the same courses in the same semester. Please contact Dr. Ron Caloss
at rcaloss@tx.rr.com to determine if you meet admission criteria.
