Educational Policy and Leadership
Format: Campus
The educational policy and leadership programs prepare graduate students to assume educational leadership roles in the areas of study provided by its programs and specializations. A distinctive characteristic of the programs are their commitment to the development of professionals as agents of critical inquiry and social justice. This is done through a systematic focus on the social, cultural, philosophical and historical contexts of education. The educational policy and leadership programs seek to apply the university goals of Christian commitment and scholarship to settings related to educational practice and policy, especially in public and private schools and institutions of higher education.
Administrative licensure certification programs are available for the Wisconsin Director of Instruction, Principal, and Superintendent licenses. Licensed teachers who wish to acquire a principal or director of instruction license may also do so in conjunction with the master of education in educational administration. Note the superintendent certification is not eligible for Title IV federal aid.
Teaching certification programs are available for Wisconsin teaching licensure at the middle childhood/early adolescence level (elementary/middle, grades 1-8) or the early adolescence level (middle/secondary, grades 6-12). Students can earn either license alone or in conjunction with a master of education degree.

Only upon approval of the department should students submit application materials to the Graduate School.
