Individuals interested in obtaining administrative licensure in Mississippi or Texas should refer to state specific licensure issues for more information. For those interested in principal certification, Walden has a principal preparation program (P12) (Ed.S. in Educational Leadership and Administration) that is approved by the Minnesota Board of School Administrato
