The Educational Administration (EDAD) programs are designed around a set of cohort-based classes focused on the skills and management of leadership. Students typically complete the program in 5-6 quarters, but can choose to spread the program over two full years.
Our Post-Master's Principal Certificate and/or Post-Master's Program Administrator Certificate programs are designed to be completed in a single calendar year (July-June) but can be extended to be completed over 6-8 quarters if desired.
