Educational Leadership Track
The Educational Leadership track within the Human Resource Development (HRD) Master of Science program is for certified teachers and other licensed professionals working in schools who aspire to become educational leaders and administrators at local and state levels. The program is approved by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) for those seeking certification as Administrator I, meeting all required state and national standards. It is the only MSDE-approved interdisciplinary program for Administrator I certification.
To meet their certification requirements, all candidates must successfully complete a minimum of 300 hours of internship, which must include experiences in multiple sites but is integrated throughout core courses. Courses are taught at the main campus and at a number of satellite campuses throughout Maryland. Our unique Executive Format schedule permits candidates to focus on one course at a time and yet complete an entire degree program in two calendar years at an off-campus location.
Real-World Perspective
The program employs faculty members who have years of experience, as well as faculty with strong research agendas in human resources and education. Many of our faculty members continue to work in the field while sharing their management and leadership experiences with students. Our faculty members are superb advisers and mentors who can help each student develop an individualized program for such positions as team leader, department chair, instructional supervisor, or school-based administrator.
