Overview

The Master’s degree in Educational Leadership is based on the Graduate School of Education’s Administrative Services Credential preparation program as a precursor to more advanced study.  The program builds on the strengths of the administrative credential preparation program and serves as an effective forum for exploring the ideas, experiences, and issues encountered by new principals in their schools and districts.  The ability to share experiences and issues with other new administrators who are part of their cohort extends the power and purpose of the administrative preparation program design.  The opportunity to engage with experienced leaders provides an added dimension to the learning experience in the initial years of administrative service.

Students in the Master of Arts in Educational Leadership program meet all of the requirements for the Graduate School of Education’s preliminary or clear administrative services preparation program.  In addition, students take 6 additional units to expand upon their action research project begun in the credential program:
