“The SMSU RN to BSN Program does not have you take a set amount of credits each semester. This flexible scheduling was perfect for me as it allowed me to vary the amount of credits I took each semester. I would have struggled without that flexibility as I am a non-traditional student who is also a wife, mother of four, and worked full time while completing my degree. This program is designed to fit into your life, whether you want to be a full-time or part-time student.”

Superintendent

If you're passionate about education and driven to make a meaningful impact, becoming a school superintendent is the path to turn that passion into a powerful force for positive change. Through our Educational Administration and Leadership (EDAL) program you will be able to gain the necessary experience needed to successfully lead a district. The superintendent’s licensure may be attained in addition to, or independent of, the principal’s license.

If you already have an MN principal’s license or are in the EDAL program to obtain your principal certificate, the superintendent’s certificate is earned with an additional 3-credit course, 6 credits of superintendent field experience, and 3 credits for the portfolio.

If you do not have a principal’s license but would like to receive your superintendent certificate it entails completing the 36-credit Educational Administration and Leadership program with an emphasis in superintendent.
