Leaders Preparation Program
Summary
The Leaders Preparation Program (LPP) is a special fifteen-month
graduate program granting students a Master of Education degree
and eligibility for a Utah Administrative/Supervisory License.
The APP is a cooperative effort of the BYU-Public School 
Partnership.
The collaborative nature of the LPP allows participants to be
granted a one-year sabbatical to study educational leadership.
This program has received state and national recognition and more
than 90% of our graduates currently hold administrative positions.
Interested teachers, counselors, or others who hold a Bachelor's
degree and who have had at least two successful years of experience
in education are invited to apply. The LPP is limited to those
who live within approximately a 3-hour drive.
The Department evaluates candidates based on their leadership,
scholarship, and citizenship determined from application portfolios,
letters of recommendation, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores,
and transcripts of previous college work. A further screening
will take place with interviews, group interactions, and analytical
writing exercises. All LPP finalists will be selected in consultation
with district administrators.
From the first Spring Term, participants will be enrolled in evening
classes. During Summer Term, participants will be enrolled in
day classes. During Fall and Winter Semesters and Spring Term,
participants will serve full-time administrative internships in
public schools four days a week and attend classes on campus one
day a week, starting in August, for the academic year.
