Educational Administration Certification
The program is a full-time course of study for potential school leaders. Admitted students progress as a cohort community through four quarters of full-time study beginning in Summer Quarter. Upon successful completion of all certificate requirements, students will earn a Residency Administrator’s Certificate. Leadership, management and instruction are three distinct components that are emphasized in each of the four quarters. Coursework is taught in synchrony with the school’s administrative calendar. The curriculum is grounded in best practice as determined by theory and research.
