Each project is designed to address real-world challenges in your workplace, allowing you to apply research, leadership, and problem-solving skills in meaningful, hands-on ways.

You’ll learn from highly qualified faculty who bring extensive experience as educators, administrators, librarians, and researchers, and who genuinely care about your personal and professional success. Through Spirit-empowered teaching and mentorship, they model the heart of transformational leadership, guiding you to grow in both excellence and purpose.

Internships are thoughtfully tailored to align with each student’s goals and strengths, providing meaningful, hands-on practice that prepares them for the dynamic demands of today’s schools.

As part of the program, candidates complete comprehensive exams that assess their mastery of key concepts, leadership principles, and research-based practices gained throughout their coursework. These exams ensure graduates demonstrate the depth of knowledge and professional readiness expected of advanced educational leaders.
