M.S.A. In School Administration

The Master of School Administration program emphasizes leadership and problem-solving ability through the educator’s exposure to real-world experiences. An electronic portfolio creates opportunities to do the work of school administrators and establishes a “tool kit” of ideas and materials which will lead to successful leadership in schools.

The goals of the program are to create life-long learners who value professional growth in each of the North Carolina Standards for School Executives: Principals; to extend the candidate’s exposure to literature and research; to broaden the candidate’s background in finance, curriculum, law, and school safety; and to provide collaborative models of data-driven decision making.

By studying national and state standards, M.S.A. students will demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge, dispositions, and performance necessary to become effective school administrators.
