Important Note Regarding Educator Endorsement

Each State Department of Education makes the final determination on a candidate’s eligibility for license and endorsement. State educational requirements for licensure are subject to change, and the University of Michigan-Flint cannot guarantee that all such requirements will be satisfied through completion of the Education with Certification program.

If you’re interested in obtaining a building-level administrator license, we encourage you to confirm your eligibility to satisfy all educational requirements with the State Department of Education in the specific state or U.S. district/territory where you wish to become licensed.

This program leads to an interim certification, which is only recognized in Michigan and will not align with other state standards.

People from states marked with an “Does Not Accept” will only be admitted to the programs after signing attestation documents attesting to their plan to get licensed and work in Michigan.
