Visit Lindenwood's accreditation and affiliations for more information.
Do these courses transfer into a graduate degree program?
Teachers, counselors, and administrators can earn graduate credit by completing Lindenwood approved professional development delivered either by the school district or ASCA. Any graduate credit hours earned through these classes will NOT be suitable for transfer into any graduate degree program at Lindenwood, nor is it intended to satisfy academic requirements for new state licensure or certification. These may be applied, in most cases, to satisfy CEUs or professional development requirements (plus hours) for salary advancement or licensure renewal. It is up to individual school districts and state certification renewal requirements as to whether they will approve these graduate credits for teachers to move up the pay scale (plus hours). It is up to individual universities if they want to accept these graduate level credits for their graduate degree programs.
Graduate credits are nonrefundable, so participants are strongly encouraged to verify with their own state education boards, human resource/professional development coordinators, or academic institution to determine if this graduate credit is applicable.
Who is eligible to enroll in continuing education courses?
Anyone who has completed a bachelor’s degree is eligible for continuing education. This program is designed for educators who seek additional graduate credit to meet state recertification requirements, increase knowledge in a specific subject area or enhance your earning power.
Are these courses/credits eligible for financial aid?
K-12 Professional and Continuing Education courses/credits are not eligible for financial aid. The cost of continuing education credits is substantially reduced to $75 per credit hour and must be paid online with a credit card.
