Overview:
The graduate program course of study for the Master of School Administration (MSA) degree is designed to prepare visionary school leaders for the public schools of North Carolina and the nation. These leadership roles include superintendents, central office administrators, principals, and assistant principals. The 42 semester-hour MSA program involves 30 hours in the major (10 courses), and 12 hours in a field-based, full-time internship and seminar. The Guidelines and Competencies of the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC), the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC,) and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) serve as the template for the design of the Master of School Administration Program. Coursework emphasizes the core functions of high achieving schools: challenging curriculum, effective instruction, and student achievement. Effective principals are those possessing knowledge of effective curriculum development combined with the skills, values and beliefs of successful leaders.
