MA/MS in Educational Administration and Supervision

The Master of Science in Education with a focus on educational leadership prepares working educators for school and district administration. Coursework covers leadership, organizational behavior, instructional design, school management, community relations, and program evaluation, with attention to how public policy shapes schools. The on-campus format leads to an Iowa principal endorsement. Project-based courses ask students to apply theory to real challenges in schools. A substantial clinical experience puts each student inside a school, learning from a practicing education leader who serves as a mentor. Students move through the program as a cohort, building a network of peers and faculty that can offer advice and feedback well beyond graduation. Graduates are prepared for leadership roles at both school and district levels, including positions that shape curriculum and large-scale programs.
