The Department of Educational Leadership offers a comprehensive graduate academic program in educational leadership within which a student may earn a Master of Science in Education (M.S.Ed.) and/or an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree or a Doctorate in Educational Leadership (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. Although two graduate degrees are offered, each program of specialization is designed as an interrelated series of planned activities.
The doctoral program expands on the master's and educational specialist programs with a focus on a systemic approach to improving student achievement through the identification and integration of current best practices, studying high-performance schools, and integrating technology into curriculum.
