Leadership (M.Ed.)

Dr. George Willey, Program Director

 

The Master of Education in Leadership degree is a 36-hour program designed for students who wish to pursue graduate study for the purpose of furthering their knowledge and skills needed for professional development and career advancement. Coursework combines leadership core courses with leadership cognate studies courses. A culminating leadership capstone course provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skills developed during the program and showcase interests and abilities as they seek employment beyond graduation. The program does not provide the educational requirements for professional Texas educator certifications.

The option to pursue the Master of Education in Leadership will be offered to Doctor of Education students when they reach the maximum time limit for the doctoral degree (seven years from the point of matriculation) without successfully defending their dissertation. Students accepting the offer to pursue the Master of Education in Leadership must enroll in EDUC 7000 for degree completion. The option to pursue the Master of Education in Leadership will expire after ten years have elapsed from students' semester of admission into the Doctor of Education program.
