There are no program prerequisites for entry to Augsburg’s graduate licensure programs. Instead, Augsburg’s programs consist of all education and content courses required for a license.
The table below provides the total number of credits required if a teacher candidate had to take every single course required for a license or endorsement. Most secondary education candidates will find they have fulfilled at least some licensure standards with their undergraduate degrees. For a detailed list of required courses, please refer to our Graduate Licensure Informational Sheets.
Endorsements are not a stand-alone licenses. To earn an endorsement, you must already have a teaching license (K-6, 5-12, or K-12) or be enrolled in a teaching license program at Augsburg.
