Non-Public School Administration
M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision
You’ve looked at traditional principal certification programs, but your heart is in private or faith affiliated schools that don’t require a certificate, and frankly you need to know more about all those functions like human resources, finance, public relations, meeting the needs learners with special needs, and those responsibilities normally handled by the central office of an ISD. If this is you, then this program is yours. It’s focused on the needs of non-public school administrators. You earn your M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision and become better equipped to lead the non public school you currently serve or hope to serve someday. Offered in face-to-face, hybrid, and online environments, you can be part of this exciting journey.
This program does not lead to Texas administrative certification.
