Master of Arts in Education: Concentration in Educational Administration

An excellent faculty, all of whom have held leadership positions in school systems, higher education, and/or private and governmental organizations, staffs the program in educational administration. Each faculty member has developed an individualized area of specialization designed to implement the program and support other activities of the department.

The program in educational administration has been revised to reflect the knowledge base and skill requirements of emerging leadership roles. The curriculum generally includes the following activities: theory and practice under simulated conditions in the classroom; application and analysis of theory in real-life situations, mostly the candidate’s school and/or district; and application and participate in field practicums supervised by a school or district administrator. Beginning Fall 2018 the program will use a cohort model with students expected to complete the program in four semesters (including one summer semester), in a period of 18 months using a hybrid model with approximately a third of all courses being face-to-face.
