This is the only program offered by Walden that is state approved as leading to any P?12 administrative/ leadership license (e.g., assistant principal, principal, teacher leader, superintendent). In addition, through a partnership with the Harris County Department of Education, Walden's M.S. in Education, Educational Leadership program leads to principal licensure at the master's level in Texas. More information about the Texas Principal Certification Program can be found at http://www.hcde-texas.org/default.aspx?name=PrinCert. Prospective candidates from outside of Minnesota should review their own state's requirements to ensure that completing a teacher or principal preparation program at Walden will meet eligibility requirements for similar licensure in their state. Walden University makes no representation or guarantee that successful completion of Walden's programs, or coursework for graduate credit within any graduate program, will permit a graduate to obtain state licensure or endorsement as a P?12 teacher or administrator.
