Professional Development Courses
These courses are offered under a departmental rubric and are numbered 800 through 9999, e.g. EDUX810. These courses carry semester units of extension credit and are designed for those who wish to meet license, in-service, and/or credential requirements, as well as for those who wish to complete an LMU professional certificate program. License and credential courses assume the appropriate level of education. Courses may be offered for a grade, on a Credit/No Credit basis, or for Audit.
