The Certificate of Advanced Study in Educational Administration and Supervision is a sequence option designed for candidates who aspire to school leadership positions as a director, assistant principal, or principal.  Candidates have completed a Master degree and hold New Jersey certification as supervisor.  A second course in supervision (EDAD 511) is required of candidates who have previously taken only one course in a state-approved supervisory certification sequence.  An internship experience begins with and is documented from the first course.  The approximately 60-70 hours of field-based experience under the supervision of a mentor translates leadership theory into practice.  The frameworks for the program have been established to meet preparatory requirements as established in the New Jersey Administrative Code (6A:9-12.5) as well as the challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities inherent in educational leadership.
