Administration and Supervision (M.Ed., C.A.S., Ed.S.)
Type 75 Certification
Program Description:
The NLU Master’s and Certificate of Advanced Study programs in Administration and Supervision are designed to prepare those of you who are certified teachers to earn general administrative and general supervisory certifications (Type 75) from the State of Illinois. This program is also appropriate for those holding a Type 73 Certificate (School Nurse, School Social Worker, School Counselor, etc.) as it leads to the Type 75 Certificate. Teachers who enroll in this NLU program, have a 98% passing rate on the Type 75 exam.
For students in Wisconsin, the sequence of courses qualifies the student for the endorsement of the Type 51 license (K-12 principalship) and the endorsement of the Type 10 license (Director of Instruction). By taking one additional course (SPE561), the student also qualifies for the endorsement of the Type 80 license (Director of Pupil Services/Special Education). The State of Wisconsin requires three years school personnel or teaching experience to gain the Type 51, Type 10 or Type 80 licensure.
The NLU Educational Specialist program in Administration and Supervision is designed for those of you who want to assume leadership roles in the areas of administration, supervision and curriculum. This program also meets the academic requirements for Superintendent Endorsement.
