Type 75 General Administrative Certificate

This 8 course series (24-semester hours) is designed for those students who already have an M.A. degree in the field of education. This coursework leads to the General Administrative Type 75 certification, but does not lead to a graduate degree.

Program Information

This series of courses prepares educational leaders, administrators and supervisors for important leadership roles in elementary and secondary schools. In order to qualify for Roosevelt University's recommendation for the Illinois Administrative Certificate (Type 75) with General Administrative and General Supervisory Endorsements, all requirements in effect at the time of application must be met. The Illinois State Board of Education also requires satisfactory scores on the Illinois Certification Testing System Basic Skills Test and General Supervisory And General Administrative Tests prior to issuing a certificate.

By offering students theories that focus on transformational leadership, open systems and opportunities for practical experiences, as well as a review of issues and problems of educational reform, the college hopes to produce practitioners skilled in communications, human relations, and managerial analysis and informed about law and finance.
