The objective of the programs in school administration is to prepare education professionals to become elementary and secondary school principals. For the most part, the number of school principals employed depends largely on the level of government expenditures for education. Pressure to increase the quality of education and to provide expanded student services could result in more hires. Pressure from taxpayers to limit educational spending can result in fewer positions being available.
Programs There are two separate degree and certification programs.
A limited number of graduate assistantships that provide a stipend and tuition waiver are available to students in the program. Each class meets one night per week, and it may be possible to take two courses on the same evening. Typically, full-time students attend classes two or three nights per week. Part-time students usually attend classes one or two nights per week. The campus is located just a few blocks off Exit 53 on Interstate 81.
