A three-credit internship (200 clock hours) must be taken and scheduled during the last one or two semesters of the program. Students wishing to obtain the Administrative and Supervisory preK-12 endorsement must take the School Leaders Licensure Assessment (SLLA) before applying to the Virginia Department of Education for the endorsement.
