Program Overview

The Specialist in Education will prepare leaders to be caring, reflective decision makers. This hybrid program will equip candidates to become change agents for positively impacting their students’ lives socially, emotionally, and academically. Please note: This program meets the requirements for applying for a K-12 administrator’s license upon successful completion of coursework, clinical practice, and a passing score on the School Leadership Licensure Assessment exam(SLLA). Students will take two courses each trimester. These rigorous classes will move quickly as they prepare students for leadership roles. Clinical practice is also an integral part of this program. This program is 36 hours and may be completed in five trimesters or 15 months which includes 500 hours of documented activities in the clinical practice. Two classes will be held in a face-to-face setting on three Saturdays per trimester.
