The Master of Arts in Education/Educational Leadership and Administration Program is designed to produce leaders who have a deep understanding of leadership, who are change agents capable of initiating and sustaining positive change, and who are reflective learners with skills to gather information in a democratic environment. The program is organized around a cohort plan. Cohorts,
or student groups, usually consist of between 12 and 20 students. Each cohort progresses through a sequence of classes. Students who already hold a Master of Arts in Education degree may complete the program and obtain principal licensure (if qualified) in thirty credit hours. Students who do not currently hold a Master of Arts in Education, or those seeking an additional Master of Arts Degree in Education/Educational Leadership and Administration will be required to complete a Capstone Experience (EDL 699).
A field-based internship is required by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and will occur during both a summer semester as well as selected, planned experiences throughout the year. Maryville University has a number of school districts that provide internship opportunities for students and these will be arranged. Students typically complete the program in six semesters. Passing a national licensure exam is necessary for certification.
