A practice-focused master's that prepares educational professionals for district-level leadership and superintendent licensure. Suits experienced school administrators, school business officers, or educators aiming to move into superintendent or central-office leadership roles.

What you'll study

The programme emphasizes district leadership and practical perspectives from current and retired superintendents. Students encounter topics such as superintendent-level decision making, building successful relationships across a district office, and addressing operational and instructional challenges (for example, early literacy, absenteeism and graduation-rate improvement). Many courses are taught by professionals with superintendent experience, offering insight into program rebuilding, facility improvement processes and cross-role collaboration.

Career prospects
