The Ed.S. degree in Educational Administration offers administrative preparation in three areas:
- K-12 principal
- Director of special education
- Superintendent
After completing the administrative preparation requirements, you have the option of applying for Minnesota licensure or continuing on to earn the Ed.S. degree.
This program will prepare you for school leadership, strengthening your ability to manage the demands of contemporary school communities. The Minnesota licensure requirements for school administrators are embedded in the courses.
Up to six graduate semester credits from a regionally accredited institution may be considered for transfer into the program if the credits were earned during the five years prior to admission and have not been used as a part of another degree program.
Format
The program is offered in a flexible format to meet the needs of working adults. During the school year, classes are scheduled primarily in the evening and on weekends. Classes are also available at various times in the summer.
Curriculum
Our practitioner-focused curriculum is taught by experienced administrators and experts in the field. In the administrative preparation segment of the program, you’ll master the competencies common to all areas of educational administrative licensure in Minnesota. Instruction focuses on combining organizational leadership theories with the practical skills that school administrators need to become effective leaders of learning organizations.
