Intermediate Administrator (092) Certification

Required Curriculum—State of Connecticut

A master’s degree is required for admission. Applicants for the Intermediate Administrator Certificate (092) must complete a minimum of 18 semester hours of graduate credit beyond the master’s degree. Fifteen (15) credit hours must be taken at the institution providing the recommendation for certification. State of Connecticut regulations [Sec. 10- 145d-242 (g)] mandate that the categories of study for the Intermediate Administrator Certificate listed below be completed during this program.

Courses taken for the certificate may be applied toward completion of the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Administration (Sixth-Year Degree) program.

To obtain the Professional Educator Certificate, the candidate must complete no less than 30 semester hours of graduate credit at a regionally accredited institution or institutions in addition to the master’s degree.

All applicants for the Intermediate Administrative Certification must pass the Connecticut Administrator Test (CAT).

Two Models for Delivering the Administrative Programs

Two different models are available for completion of both the Intermediate Administrator (092) Certification and the Certificate of Advanced Study in Administration (Sixth-Year Degree).

The “accelerated weekend cohort” model is delivered to a cohort of students with each course meeting on one Friday and four alternate Saturdays during the first year from September to June. At that point, after only 10 months, students would be eligible to take the Connecticut Administrator Test (CAT) and, if successful, could apply for the Intermediate Administrator (092) Certification. For those choosing to continue on for the CAS in Administration (Sixth-Year Degree), there is an additional summer and fall requirement, resulting in a total of fifteen months of study for both the 092 and CAS. This cohort model is available at the Trumbull and Stamford locations. The application deadline for this fall cohort program is March 1st.

The “traditional” model is delivered according to each candidate’s pace. Some courses are also offered on Saturdays. Candidates in the “traditional” model may register for one to two courses per semester, working through the program at their own pace. The “traditional” model for delivering these programs is available at the Trumbull and Griswold locations.

Applications are reviewed continuously.
