Graduate candidates who successfully complete all their curricular and clinical training requirements for the Master's of Education degree will receive formal endorsement in their area of specialization by the faculty.

   Formal endorsement includes recommendation for state certification and/or national certification in settings consistent with the training provided in their programs. In cases in which a certifying body allows a student to sit for a certification examination, the program faculty shall endorse the graduate candidate as a candidate for that examination if the graduate candidate has completed that portion of the program required by that certifying body.
