***All credits required are offered every summer. If you already hold a K-12 principal endorsement, you can be eligible for superintendent endorsement by taking the four courses on-line for fifteen hours during the 1st 3-week session, and then finishing the courses by attending on campus for three weeks during the 2nd 3-week session. This shortens the time required on campus while maintaining the high standard of preparation for which Montana State University is known.
