The programs in Educational Administration prepare professionals for leadership positions in the direction and management of basic and higher education. D. in Educational Administration is designed for those interested in pursuing positions as superintendents, central office staff members, administrators in state and federal education agencies or higher education, and as professors of educational administration.
Admission is a two-phase process.
Initially, your application and supporting documentation are reviewed. This includes your graduate and undergraduate grade point averages, performance in courses within the department, standardized test scores, goal statement, letters of recommendation, and career development work, leadership roles, and volunteer involvement, as described in your curriculum vitae. Based on this information, applicants are selected to participate in a group interview and to respond in writing to a hypothetical administrative problem. This information is added to the previous data and reviewed by the faculty to determine admission. Admission, however, is contingent on students beginning their residencies in the fall semester following their admission.
