The Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership provides opportunities for candidates to acquire knowledge about leadership in P-12, community college, higher education, or other educational settings. The program provides opportunities for students to develop in-depth understanding about leadership roles and responsibilities, working with external environments, professional development, organizational behavior, and contemporary educational issues.
Students may work concurrently on the principal's license and a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) in Educational Leadership. To obtain a Colorado principal license, students must have a master's degree or higher, complete a principal license program, and satisfactorily pass the PRAXIS exam. Students desiring a principal's license must work with the UNC licensure office for program verification when they have completed their coursework. Admission materials for review by the faculty include a current resume, copies of educator licenses, and a statement of goals in addition to the other information in the UNC application system for graduate student admission. Students are admitted each semester (fall, spring, and summer).
The master's degree requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate study, of which 12 hours are core learning experiences. Students may obtain the master's degree while also working concurrently on a principal or administrator license.
