Master of Education in School Administration (M.Ed.) Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (C.A.G.S.) in Educational Leadership
The graduate programs in school administration prepare educators for an Initial License as a School Principal/Assistant School Principal on the elementary (PreK-6), middle (5-8), or high school (9-12) level. Course offerings blend a strong theoretical base with the skills and knowledge required by practitioners in a school and community setting. Core courses reflect the Professional Standards for Administrators issued by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Field-based experiences build upon the theoretical foundation and assist students to develop and enhance the leadership skills necessary to administer a sound, organized, creative, reflective and equitable teaching/learning school environment. Students may pursue this program as a Master of Education (M.Ed.). Those already holding a graduate degree may pursue this program as a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (C.A.G.S.). This program is comprised of ten graduate courses and six credits of internship (36 semester hours) focusing on instructional leadership, educational foundations, legal issues, fiscal and personnel management, and community relations. Courses are seven weeks, conducted throughout the calendar year, and offered in face-to-face or hybrid online formats. An internship is required. Students should consult with their advisor regarding specific licensure requirements based on their experience and status. Emmanuel College
