Courses scheduled for the cohort program are limited to cohort members only. The program consists of 39 semester credit hours to be completed in two years. Upon entrance into the cohort program, students are assigned a Mentor Principal from the Clark County School District.
Students actively work with their mentor principals throughout the two-year program.
Field experience classes and the administrative internship are completed in collaboration with their mentor principals. All cohort members are required to utilize the CCSD Interact computer network system. This computer-based technology allows cohort members opportunities for electronic interaction via bulletin boards and live chats. However, completion of the cohort program does not guarantee that students will be selected for Leadership or that they will be appointed as administrators. Students must attain a score of 590 or better on the Praxis Exam for Educational Administration, which serves as the exit exam for the Master degree.
