The graduate program in educational administration offers a Master of Science in Administration degree (M.S.A.) to students who successfully complete the 36-credit hour degree program designed to prepare them for administrative leadership positions in educational settings. This two-year cohort program meets one weekend a month for twenty months. The program consists of core requirements (30 credits) and a required 2-year internship and final project with an accompanying seminar (6 credits).
