Certificate
Completion of this degree does not qualify the recipient for a license or certification in Delaware, since there is no relevant Delaware license or certificate. The degree satisfies most course requirements for the Delaware School Leader I certificate (see INSTRUCTION degree section). By taking two additional school leadership courses (MED 7201 and MED 7706 or MED 7707), candidates will satisfy course requirements for the Delaware Principal/Assistant Principal Certificate. However, candidates completing the five technology courses listed above with a GPA of 3.0 or higher will upon application to the Wilmington University Office of the Registrar, be issued a Wilmington University Certificate of Advanced Study in Applied Technology in Education. You may obtain a Graduate Certificate Program Form from the Registration Book or by downloading it from the Wilmington University Registrar’s webpage.
