Master of Education (M.Ed.) - Educational Administration Program
Dr. Craig Hammonds, Program Director
Purpose of the Program
The Educational Administration programs at UMHB are designed to prepare practitioners to become leaders who lead by example, are driven by a vision of success, and are advocates in shared decision-making. Further, they must become both politically astute, managers of conflict, public servants charged to work with school boards, and are able to respond quickly to a wide-range of issues dealing with diversity, technology, finance, and continuous school improvement for every child.
The M.Ed. in Educational Administration employs alternative delivery, cohort and non-cohort models utilizing select Saturday classes during the Fall and Spring semesters with abbreviated summer institutes. Admission into the Principal Certification Program requires meeting all Graduate School and Education Preparation Program requirements.
