Educational Leadership and Administration, M.S.

California State University - Fullerton

The Master of Science in Educational Leadership and Administration prepares school leaders who demonstrate strategic, instructional, organizational, political and community leadership, and are current or potential school leaders who will bring theory and scholarship into practice in community-based sites. People who apply to the Master of Science in Educational Leadership and Administration program are typically credentialed teachers or service workers employed in P-12 settings, other educational professionals who possess a California teaching or services credential, or students who want to develop their skills as educational leaders. The degree courses can also apply toward the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (PASC) so that students earn both the M.S. in Educational Leadership and Administration and the PASC by the end of their program of study. The learning outcomes for the program are grounded in the standards established by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) and reflect the core values of the Department of Educational Leadership: (a) just, equitable, and inclusive education (b) the application of theory to practice and (c) leadership for change.
