Leadership Programs
The educational leadership programs leading to the master of arts degree, the specialist of arts degree and the doctor of education degree, as well as individual courses, are of interest and assistance to professional educators in general. For prospective or practicing administrators, the programs provide basic administrative course offerings as well as opportunities to specialize in administration in K-12 schools, student affairs and higher education.
In addition, persons preparing for leadership positions in the many other areas of education (e.g., adult education, career education, community education, personnel, school and community relations, administration of vocational and technical education, etc.) will find an appropriate selection of courses. Many of the courses offered are excellent electives for students pursuing advanced degrees in other departments.
Program formats have been designed to provide flexibility in course selection to accommodate each student’s unique experiences and future career goals and are located in our on-campus and off-campus locations. Course selections should reflect the student’s career aspirations and University requirements. The program is usually planned to prepare the student for a specific educational administrative position. More complete information may be obtained by contacting the advising coordinator or the department head.
