INTRODUCTION

The Commission on Teacher and Administrator Education, Certification and Licensure and Development was created under the Mississippi Education Reform Act of 1982 and is charged with the responsibility of making recommendations to the State Board of Education regarding standards for the preparation, licensure, and continuing professional development of those who teach or perform tasks of an educational nature in the public schools of the State of Mississippi. In compliance with ?37-3-2, Mississippi Code 1972, Annotated, as amended by Mississippi Laws 1997, Ch. 545, the Commission on Teacher and Administrator Education, Certification and Licensure and Development and the State Board of Education have approved guidelines for licensure.

This guide lists information by college/university and contains current approved education programs and endorsements. Proper use of this guide should provide answers to most, if not all, general and specific questions relating to locating prospective programs of interest at institutions in the State of Mississippi. Beside each endorsement is the endorsement code.

It is the goal of the Offices of Educator Licensure/Educator Preparation to ensure that all information shared by our personnel, in printed form and orally, is communicated accurately and implemented consistently. We rely on each institution to notify our office as changes in personnel, programs, and /or relevant services occur. Please contact the institution at the website/phone number provided for the most current information related to their education programs.

Note: Some advanced level programs may only be available to candidates already possessing a certification in a particular area. For example, an institution may offer a Masters in Music Education. This program may only be available to candidates who hold a current certification in Music Education. Please contact the institutions for specific program admission requirements.
