Add-on Licensure
School Administration
Program of Studies
An individualized Add-on program of study will be developed for each admitted candidate. By evaluating previous academic coursework (i.e. transcripts) and the nature of subsequent and current professional experiences in public education, UNC faculty advisors will customize a program of study that provides academic and practical experiences that will complete the matrix of ELCC/ISLLC standards, North Carolina’s Principal standards, and the School of Education’s conceptual framework, principles and dispositions as required by accrediting agencies.
Though each student’s program will be customized in accordance with the above, common to all candidates will be:
- Fall, Semester I
2 courses (6 hrs) - Spring, Semesters II
2 courses (6 hrs) - Fall, Semester III
Internship & Internship Seminar (3 hrs) - Spring, Semester IV
Internship & Internship Seminar (3 hrs)
Total hours: 18
The four first-year courses will be drawn from current master’s and/or doctoral school administration courses that are taught on-campus. Most courses are typically held on late afternoon/evening weekdays, once per week for an entire semester for each course, in either a 4:00-7:00 p.m. or 7:00-10:00 p.m. format.
