units. These courses have graduate-level accreditation and are designed primarily for students
who have baccalaureate degrees and appropriate teaching credentials. These semester hours
of credit are used for professional advancement and to satisfy certain degree and credential
requirements. Obtaining advance approval from your institution is necessary, as each
district, college, or state has its own policies regarding the types of credit it will
