An Arkansas Curriculum Program Administrator (P-12) is a school leader responsible for program development and administration who may be involved in employment evaluation decisions.

The College of Education and Health Professions provides the coursework required by the State of Arkansas Department of Education for licensure as a Curriculum/Program Administrator (P-12). Check the Arkansas Department of Education website for application forms and information.

Traditional financial aid and scholarships are not available for endorsement programs. Those teaching outside Arkansas should check with their home state's department of education to see if this coursework will be accepted for licensure endorsements in their home states.
