Educational Administration and Leadership

Administration and Supervision Degree Program (Option I Sequence)

The Master of Arts in Educational Leadership is a program designed for candidates who aspire to school leadership positions as a supervisor, director, assistant principal, or principal. The framework for the program has 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. The complete internship experience begins and is documented from the first course, and the “capstone” internship experience (EDAD-591-592) concludes the program. Candidates will complete a year-long “Capstone School Improvement/Change Project.”
