Master of Education [M.Ed] Educational Leadership
The program supports the acquisition of prerequisite knowledge and professional skills to serve as competent, caring, ethical, and highly qualified leaders in the schools, districts, and communities served.
The degree supports career advancement for currently licensed practitioners in P-12 settings with at least three years of employment in a Massachusetts-approved school or district. The Principal/Assistant Principal license (PK-8 or 5-12) is for those seeking to lead schools. The non-licensure option is designed for seasoned professionals in educational settings or agencies that do not require the Massachusetts license.
Graduates typically pursue leadership or policy related positions in P-12 schools. Those in the Principal/Assistant Principal option typically become school leaders or pursue management positions in education-related organizations and agencies. Those in the non-licensure option typically lead private or charter schools and later return to pursue licensure through the CAGS program in order to pursue further advancement in Massachusetts public schools and districts.
