Educational Administration and Supervision
The Educational Administration and Supervision program offers three high-quality, practicum-based degree and/or licensure programs that prepare individuals for positions in school districts as assistant principals, principals, directors, deputy and assistant superintendents, and superintendents.
The mission of programs in Educational Administration and Supervision is to prepare candidates for leadership positions at the local school district, regional, state and national levels. The program has received the highest accreditation rating by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and leads to licensure for principals, central office administrators and superintendents.
The program offers a Master’s degree program in Educational Administration and Supervision leading to licensure as a principal. Licensure programs are also offered for students holding a master’s degree who seek licensure as a principal or superintendent. The curriculum places a strong emphasis of field practicum experiences and internships.
Two years of experience as a PK-12 teacher or at least the instructor level at a college or university is required.
Licensure Program Admissions
Applicants who currently hold a graduate degree and seek licensure as principal or superintendent must meet the same admission requirements as applicants for a Master’s degree.
Degree Requirements
The Master of Education degree in Educational Administration and Supervision is a thirty-nine (39) credit hour program that meets the state requirements for licensure as a building-level administrator. Candidates must complete courses in the professional core, educational administration and supervision and in an emphasis area.
