Master of Arts degree in School Principalship
The School Principalship program prepares students to lead traditional public schools and public school academies. The program is NCATE accredited according to standards developed under the auspices of the National Policy Board for Educational Administration and implemented by the Educational Leadership Constituent Council. Generally, students selecting this program have had classroom teaching experience and plan to move to administrative positions. However, others remain in the classroom with a new perspective on how schools operate and choose to lead in other ways.
