K-12 Educators and Counselors

Lindenwood Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) in cooperation with school districts, select educational agencies, and recognized experts in their field, provides graduate credit opportunities for K-12 Educators and Counselors in a flexible manner and at an affordable price.

Graduate credit hours earned through K-12 professional development courses and workshops are not transferrable into a degree program at Lindenwood. However, these hours are generally used to meet school district requirements for professional development (plus hours), and state licensure renewal requirements. Check with your individual school district, state board, or institution for applicability. Graduate credits are nonrefundable.
