For the K-12 Principal, Superintendent, and Director of Special Education licenses, state regulations require that you accrue a total of 60 semester or 90 quarter credits beyond the bachelor's degree. This total includes those credits received from a master's, specialist, or doctorate degree. Individual requirements vary depending on coursework already completed. For the Director of Community Education license, state regulations require that you complete 20 semester or 30 quarter graduate-level credits beyond a previously attained bachelor's degree.
Individual requirements vary depending on coursework already completed.
