The Master’s Program in Educational Administration provides opportunities for students to develop in-depth understanding about leadership roles and responsibilities, working with community at-large, policy administration, and contemporary educational issues. Coursework is designed around issues of equity and social justice research within contexts of rural, urban, and suburban schools. Graduates of the program are prepared to advocate, nurture and sustain a campus culture and instructional program conducive to student learning and faculty professional growth. While the majority of the classes are delivered in a face-to-face format, some of the classes are conducted using a hybrid model between face-to-face and online.

Applicants must have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.00 and a graduate GPA of 3.00 on the last 60 semester credit hours of undergraduate work and any previous work in graduate school. Applicants must complete the goals statement as required on the application form. The statement should be between 300 to 400 words, and should include information about their reasons for pursuing a graduate degree in Educational Administration and certification in the principalship. Applications will be evaluated by department faculty holistically on a scale of 1 - 4. Only students scoring a 3 or 4 will be admitted to the program. Students who have submitted all required application documents, but who do not meet the minimum GPA of 3.00, may enroll in a conditional status in courses approved by the program coordinator.
