Graduate Catalog 2022-2023

Principals’ Licensure (Non-Degree)

Students may work concurrently on the principal's license and a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) or an Educational Specialist degree (Ed.S.) in Educational Leadership. To obtain a Colorado principal license, students must have a master's degree or higher, complete a principal license program, and satisfactorily pass the PRAXIS exam. Students desiring a principal's license must work with the UNC licensure office for program verification when they have completed their coursework. Admission materials for review by the faculty include a current resume, copies of educator licenses, and a statement of goals in addition to the other information in the UNC application system for graduate student admission. Students are admitted each semester (fall, spring, and summer).
