Educational Leadership, M.A.

In addition to the standard educational leadership graduate program, we offer a concentration in Catholic education to prepare you for school-level leadership positions — most commonly principalship in Catholic elementary, middle and high schools — as well as teacher leadership. Within the Catholic education track, coursework focuses on the unique aspects of Catholic educational leadership, including spiritual leadership, the vocation of a Catholic school leader and non-public school administration such as funding mechanisms and applicable laws, while preparing students to take the Missouri assessments for principal certification.
