Program Description:

The Master of Ed in Ed Admin Organizational Leadership Emphasis (Not Eligible for Institutional Recommendation/Non-Credential) is a program designed for any individual interested in the administration of educational and social services settings for children in the Grade K-12 setting, but who must postpone a school site-based administrative internship, or who does not choose to seek a K-12 administrative certificate. The format and courses of the regionally accredited program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize the content knowledge that the student already possesses. Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in areas of educational leadership, organizational theory, and strategic management. Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program. Assignments within each course guide students through observational and practice-based experiences. Students must have access to a school or children's social services setting to complete the program assignments. Graduates of the program are prepared to become educational leaders in the home, church, private schools, and other settings not requiring an administrative credential. The students are also prepared to move into an administrative internship/credentialing component with GCU at a later date. Students must have a current K-12 teaching certificate.
