Additional Program Details

Additional Content Course Requirements

All students will undergo a transcript analysis to ensure content requirements for licensure have been met as set forth by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners. In some cases, students may need additional coursework to overcome identified deficiencies. Morningside University advisors work closely with students to develop a program of study that includes both required education courses and supplemental content courses as needed.

The Iowa Board of Educational Examiners accepts semester hours of graduate or undergraduate-level college credit for endorsement credit fulfillment. Important: Only college credit is accepted. College credits must be earned through a college or university that has institutional accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
