Liberty meets education requirements.

School Administration & Supervision (Licensure) – Michigan

Educational Requirements

According to the Michigan Department of Education:

The state of Michigan offers a list of active teacher endorsements.

Michigan offers an Elementary & Secondary Administrator K-12 (ES) endorsement and a Central Office (CO) endorsement.

Additional Requirements (After Degree Conferral)

  1. Please submit all licensure documents (located on the Gate 4 Checklist) to gate4@liberty.edu.
  2. Gate 4 will complete a College Verification Form which will be used to add on the Administration and Supervision endorsement to the Virginia licensure. 
  3. After obtaining a Virginia license with the Administration and Supervision Add-On, students can then apply for a Michigan license through reciprocity. 

    Reciprocity

    Michigan has signed an Interstate Compact Agreement (ICA) with every state agreeing to accept out-of-state approved teacher preparation programs and standard teaching certificates on a reciprocal basis for initial certification. Out-of-state certification programs and credentials may differ from Michigan programs and credentials; however, under the ICA, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) attempts to match out-of-state certificates, grade levels and content endorsements as closely as possible.  Even with reciprocity, Michigan certification is not guaranteed, and ancillary state requirements exist in Michigan law (e.g., testing).
