PGCert in Educational Administration and Supervision

The Education Specialist with a concentration in Educational Leadership is a post-master's program at Old Dominion University for people who want to advance into higher levels of professional practice in schools, training organizations, and human service settings. The curriculum builds skills in policy development, planning, and executive decision making. Emphasis areas cover administration and supervision as well as higher education. Core coursework includes organizational theory, school finance and budgeting, systems planning, and leadership for social justice. Applicants need a master's degree from an accredited institution with a strong graduate record, two recommendation letters, and a short essay on why they wish to join. Those slightly under the stated minimum may be considered for provisional admission. Work taken as a non-degree student does not count toward the admission decision.
