The Master of Science in Educational Leadership and Administration equips future school administrators with strategic, instructional, organizational, political, and community leadership skills, transforming academic theory into real-world practice within educational settings. Applicants to this program generally include certified teachers or P-12 education professionals holding California credentials, as well as individuals seeking to enhance their leadership capabilities in education. This degree program simultaneously fulfills requirements for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (PASC), allowing graduates to obtain both qualifications upon completion. The curriculum aligns with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) standards and embodies the Department of Educational Leadership's fundamental principles: (a) fostering fair, accessible, and inclusive learning environments, (b) bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application, and (c) driving transformative leadership initiatives.
