class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each State Department of Education makes the final determination on a candidate\u2019s 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 Specialist program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re interested in obtaining a district-level administrative 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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the states listed do not accept it because the Ed.S. program might not directly align with the state standards. Please contact Jim Owen, academic advisor, at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jamesowe@umich.edu\">jamesowe@umich.edu<\/a>\u00a0or call <a href=\"tel:8107623331\">810-762-3331<\/a> to discuss your options.<br><br>*Programs are accepted, but licensure requires some PK-12 experience, which is not required for admission to the program.<br>Note: Licenses may be able to be obtained in other states, but it will be on a case-by-case basis and cannot be guaranteed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People from states marked with a \u201cDoesn\u2019t Accept\u201d will only be admitted to the programs after signing attestation documents attesting to their plan to get licensed and work in Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">List of U.S.
