Educational Leadership

鈥淭he veteran professors in the program came from the trenches and were knowledgeable, engaging and responsive to student needs. The hot button educational issues we discussed made me even more passionate about servant leadership and making a difference in the lives of my district's stakeholders. Best of all, the educational leaders in our cohort built a strong collegial relationship that will endure in the years to come.鈥� 鈥撀� John Ulferts, Superintendent-Principal, Shirland School District.

Program Overview

The School of Education offers a comprehensive graduate academic program in educational leadership within which a student may earn a Master of Science in Education (MS Ed.), an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree, and/or an Educational Doctorate (Ed.D.). The master's program concentrates on the general background and skills needed for entry into positions of educational leadership. Sequences at the education specialist level expand this base and add elements that contribute to continued professional growth and those required, specifically, to qualify for the position of superintendent of schools. The doctorate program develops instructional leaders. This goal is achieved by means of a collaborative, inquiry-based learning structure that unites a group of practicing professionals to explore how theory, research, and heightened political understanding serve to resolve the issues educational leaders regularly face. Additionally principal licensure and superintendent licensure are offered.
