Degree and Certification plans are prepared prior to registration. After the student has completed the four core courses, the student may qualify for Leadership Practicum (EDLE 5500). In preparing the degree plan, a student may transfer up to six (6) semester hours of course work from another institution with advisor and Graduate Admissions permission. Students have six years to complete the degree. Work that is more than six years old at the time of your graduation cannot be counted toward the Master’s degree.
