If your state requires the completion of a state-approved program, then no. The MS in Education with a specialization in Educational Leadership (Non-Licensure) (Grades K–12) program is not approved for administrative licensure in Minnesota (Walden’s home state) or any other state. The program may meet some of the coursework requirements for administrative licensure in states that do not require the completion of a state-approved administrator licensure program.
For those interested in principal certification, Walden has a principal preparation program (preK–12) (EdS in Educational Leadership and Administration) that is approved in Minnesota and Ohio as meeting the educational requirements for principal licensure. Candidates may need to satisfy additional state requirements (i.e., assessments, background checks) before being issued a license/certification.
