School Administration Program

The Master in Education School Administration program prepares teachers for the residency principal’s certificate. A student shall complete at least 56 credits in an approved Course of Study to be developed in consultation with the graduate advisor. This program provides options for the various school levels, but does not necessarily qualify the student for the Residency Principal’s Certificate, which requires that an applicant complete an application and be accepted to the Administrator Certification Program and complete the required coursework in addition to a 16 credit, year-long internship (see section II for more information).

NOTE: Completion of the Master’s Degree does not allow you to achieve the Administrator’s Certificate. Please click the "Certification" link on the left for more information.
