A minimum of 27 Semester Hours is required to achieve Level I, non-degree certification, for the all-grades principalship. Level II certification requires a minimum of 36 semester hours. For this program, students must have previously completed a master's degree program, which would qualify for a Rank II classification. Rank I endorsement may be recommended when the student has completed a total of 60 hours of combined coursework from the masters and post masters programs.
