Master of Education in Educational Leadership with Principal Certification (Online)
Department Website: Master of Education in Educational Leadership
The Department of Educational Leadership and Administration offers a 30-credit online program which strives to develop reflective, educational leaders who are committed to a spirit of inquiry and social justice and who guide their communities toward a rich, equitable, and comprehensive education for all students.
The program is designed for practicing educators who aspire to become more effective formal and informal leaders in the K-12 environment. An educational leader’s key task is to foster learning for everyone in that environment.
The 30-credit program consists of 11 courses delivered across four consecutive semesters. The 11 courses in this program are designed to help educators develop the knowledge and skills that will help them create a school environment in which everyone can realize their potential.
This online master’s program is, at heart, a community of learners. To enhance this community of learners, this program is designed as a cohort model. Members of the cohort begin the program with online courses that are mostly asynchronous. The online coursework is enhanced by personal one-to-one support via a learning management system, e-mail, telephone, and teleconferencing throughout the program. During the summer, the cohort will meet together for synchronous sessions for a week.
