Other Advanced Programs Leading to Licensure
Note: Minnesota State University Moorhead also offers a Curriculum and Instruction (C & I) Master’s Degree. This program has several emphasis areas, but the emphasis areas do not lead to any licensure areas or endorsements. The C & I program was previously accredited under NCATE, but the C & I program will no longer be accreditation under CAEP due to its non-licensure status.
