Our courses help students strengthen their analytical and writing abilities, which they demonstrate through either a final thesis or comprehensive examination.
Earning this degree enables alumni to take on leadership roles in school systems or organizations, continue their education with doctoral studies at prestigious universities, or teach as adjunct faculty at CSULB and other colleges. The 30-unit program can typically be finished within 18 to 24 months.
