School Leadership Program

Program Vision

We influence the field and practice of school leadership to improve learning. 

Program Mission

The mission of the M.Ed. School Leadership Program is to prepare individuals to be competent, caring and qualified educational leaders who have a vision and a compelling sense of purpose for continuous improvement of schools and learning for all students. Within the graduate program, students will acquire the knowledge and skills to facilitate, motivate, and lead high levels of learning for all students and teachers.

Choice of Two School Leadership Programs: 

To prepare to become educational leaders in schools, students may choose from two BYU School Leadership programs.  Together, these two programs broaden opportunities for prospective school administrators to advance their knowledge and ability to lead schools and improve student learning.

  • 12 months of full-time study and 2 months part-time study
  • One-year, full-time internship
  • 22 months of part-time study or 14 month full-time study option
  • Two-year, part-time internships

Similarities between LPP & ExSL: 

Alignment.  Both programs work closely with the BYU Public School Partnership, are based on current research in the field of educational leadership and share common vision, mission, aims, goals, curriculum, student learning outcomes, and ability to complete the State-required administrative internship. 

Curriculum & Learning Outcomes.  Both programs offer the same curriculum for the same student learning outcomes.

Cohorts.  Both programs are designed with a cohort of students who go through the program together.  Cohorts provide support and network development during and after the program.  Cohorts range in size from 12 to 16 students.

Activities: In both programs, students are involved in a variety of program activities, including:

Administrative Licensure.  Students fulfilling the program coursework, completing the administrative internship requirements and passing the state-required PRAXIS Examination will be recommended to the State of Utah to receive their Administrative Licensure.

Differences between LPP & ExSL: 

The difference between these two programs lies in their full-time or part-time delivery structure.  As a result, each program choice offers different advantages for students in terms of course schedule and internship opportunities.
