The Department offers graduate degree programs in school administration and educational technology.

The Master of School Administration (MSA) Program is designed to prepare visionary school leaders to serve in diverse cultural contexts and as advocates for social justice in the public schools of North Carolina and the nation.

In addition, a licensure-only program in school administration is designed for individuals who already hold a master’s degree in our education related field.

The Master’s Program in Educational Technology is designed to prepare graduates to serve as Information and Communication Technologists in a variety of professional ventures among which are K-12 schools, institutions of higher education (college resource centers), business, industry, and professional schools such as Medicine, Law, Dentistry, and Nursing.

The Educational Leadership, Research and Technology Department also support all of the research related courses offered at both the undergraduate and graduate degree levels. Faculty members are dedicated to preparing our candidates as facilitators of technology and as leaders in the schools.
