M.Ed. in Educational Leadership

Is This Program Right for You?

If you're ready to step into a leadership role — or want to grow the leadership skills you're already using — this program is designed for you. The M.Ed. in Educational Leadership prepares current teachers and administrators to take on greater responsibility in their schools and districts, from instructional leadership to school management to policy advocacy.

This is a stand-alone Master's degree — which means it is a 12-month program and will not lead to a teaching certification.
