Positions for which the Illinois Type 75 Administrative Certificate is valid are determined by which of the four current endorsements is pursued.
Requirements are different for each of the endorsements.
Each endorsement requires a separate fee and application to the state and courses used to meet the requirements of one endorsement cannot be used to meet the requirements of another endorsement. As of 2003, the state legislature has eliminated the General Supervisory Endorsement. Therefore, the department no longer offers that option. LESO currently has four master s degree programs, one educational specialist degree program, and two doctoral degree programs. In addition, students may pursue endorsements for the Illinois Type-75 Administrative Certificate in three areas.
