Licensure Only Candidates - Initial License and Additional License

Candidates who are not currently licensed and wish to be a licensure only candidate are required to complete the same admission criteria stated above.

Licensure/Endorsement candidates are required to have a 2.5 GPA on the undergraduate level.
