Due to the required internship hours for licensure, those seeking Administrator Licensure who are not currently employed in a school building level cannot apply to the Educational Leadership program. Also, candidates seeking licensure cannot begin the program without a signed agreement from a school building administrator who is willing to serve as their Mentoring Supervisor throughout their course of study.
After completing the first eight courses for a M.Ed. Degree in School Leadership Administration leading to a Mississippi State Administrator’s License, candidates must take and pass The School Leaders License Assessment Exam (SLLA)) in order to be recommended for licensure. Taking the SLLA is a NOT requirement for graduation. Passing the SLLA is a requirement for licensure.
NOTE: Candidates seeking administrator certification must assume responsibility for fulfilling all state requirements.
*OUT OF STATE CANDIDATES: AOut-state candidates should consult with their Graduate School of Education’s admission advisor to confirm if Belhaven University’s education program will meet their state’s licensure requirements. Additional licensure information can be found at School of ED Licensure Disclosure.
The Belhaven University School of Education will not be responsible for addressing requirements from individual candidate’s state of residence or from a state in which they may plan to obtain an administrator license.
