The principal licensure-only track was created for experienced teachers who are seeking a path to become a licensed school principal without completing a graduate degree. This program will lead to principal licensure in Colorado and most other states. This licensure program is designed to enhance expertise in governance, finance, law, leadership, and strategic planning. Candidates will learn to lead teachers, develop and implement curriculum standards, and guide educators to meet established academic goals. Candidates will also learn how to manage budgets, establish proper security, and work more effectively with stakeholders. | |||
Objectives of the Principal Licensure ProgramThe purpose of the principal endorsement is to prepare educational leaders for licensure and to help them gain the knowledge and ability to promote the success of teachers and students in the following ways:
Admission to the Principal Licensure ProgramAdmission to the Principal Licensure program is selective. Applicants are evaluated on the basis of previous academic performance, personal and professional accomplishments and goals, and strength of professional disposition qualities. Each applicant is carefully evaluated for his or her ability to contribute to the program. A strong desire to complete graduate-level work in a Christ-centered, biblically-based community is important. Admission Requirements
Academic RequirementsStudents who earn a C- or lower in a graduate education course are required to repeat the course. Time LimitationAll work applied toward the Principal Licensure program must be completed within a four-year period from the date of enrollment. After the four-year period, a Principal Licensure student who has not completed the program requirements will be withdrawn from the program. Students who step out of the program for more than 365 days, or go beyond the four-year period and wish to complete the Principal Licensure program will be required to apply for readmission. If readmission is granted, additional coursework may be required. Students will be required to adhere to current academic policies, tuition, and fees.
