MEd in Educational Leadership

The Master of Education in Educational Leadership is a unique and incredible Master’s program.  Check it out:

What is it?

It is a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and a principal preparation program.  It meets the Idaho requirement for candidates to apply for a principal endorsement.

We also have a growing number of students who work in higher education.  For those students, we focus key assignments each semester on leadership in the higher education setting.  We welcome you!

How is it set up?

The program is a closed cohort structure.  This means a cohort of students begin each fall and stay together for the duration of the program.  You are bonded – and that has some huge benefits.

Our program consists of five courses and an integrated curriculum.  We do not teach topic-specific classes, instead we blend key concepts throughout the five semesters.  We use a Problem-Based Learning approach to deliver our curriculum.  Each course is 6-credits, and we meet on Thursday evenings and one Saturday a month.
