Graduate Certificate - School Administration

The School Administration Program is the pathway to a building-level administrator’s license for candidates who already completed a master’s degree. It is a post-master’s, non-degree licensure program leading to a building level administrator’s license (P-12 in Indiana or PK-6, 4-9, or 5-12 in Ohio). The program identifies outcomes and expectations based on current school leadership principles and practices and enables interns to engage in inquiry, research, dialogue, team learning, reflection, problem-based learning, collaboration, and standards-based assessment from a comprehensive P-12 perspective. The program aligns to the National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) program recognition standards. For Indiana candidates, the program is aligned to the Rules for Educator Preparation and Accountability (REPA3) for building administrators. For Ohio candidates, the program is aligned to Ohio Standards for Principals. Candidates will develop and demonstrate proficiency through a variety of field experience activities and performance assessments. The program curriculum is 18 credit hours.

The School Administration Program provides a clinical, school-based learning experience for aspiring school leaders. Candidates are encouraged, empowered, and equipped to become visionary servant-leaders who model Christ-likeness.
