Overview

Program Description The Master of Arts program in Educational Administration has been revised to reflect the knowledge base and skill requirements of emerging leadership roles. The curriculum generally includes the following activities: theory and practice under simulated conditions in the classroom; application and analysis of theory in real-life situations, mostly the candidate’s school and/or district; and application and participate in field practicums supervised by a school or district administrator. Beginning Fall 2018 the program will use a cohort model with students expected to complete the program in four semesters (including one summer semester), in a period of 18 months using a hybrid model with approximately a third of all courses being face-to-face. The Master of Arts is regarded as the professional degree for educational administrators. It is possible for candidates who meet the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing prerequisites required for the five-year preliminary administrative services credential to concurrently earn both the preliminary five-year administrative services credential and the master’s degree. Students who do not meet the prerequisites required for the preliminary administrative services credential are eligible to earn a master’s degree only. Please note that students entering the program on or after June 1, 2019 will also need to pass the three (3) California Administrator Performance Assessments (CalAPA). Students enrolled after June 1, 2018 will be required to take the three (3) California Administrator Performance Assessments (CalAPA).

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
