EDLF Masters' Program Overview

The M.Ed. degree in Educational Leadership and Foundations prepares students to become leaders in positions of responsibility in institutions concered with educational programs, such as principals, directors, superintendents in public and private organizations, advocacy groups, and not-for-profit organizations. Programs of study are designed to give students a solid theoretical and practical foundation to improve learning.

The M.Ed. programs are designed to be completed in one to two years; however, all work must be completed within five years.
