The Stout School of Education offers North Carolina’s only Graduate Certificate Program that supports stacking certificates towards the completion of a Master of Education Leadership or Doctor of Education Leadership degree. Each graduate certificate includes four courses offered at an advanced academic level, which can be taken as non-degree earning or may be applied towards fulfilling the requirements of a graduate degree. When completed in conjunction with state licensure requirements, degrees may also yield a principal or superintendent license for the state of North Carolina. Completion of individual certificates will position educators for employment in specialized roles.
