Saint Louis University – Globally Recruit

The Master of Arts in Educational Leadership at Saint Louis University's School of Education has a multidisciplinary design, enhanced by problem-based learning, evidence-based content that connects theory and practice, and opportunities for practice. Students engage in professional learning by collaborating with peers using solution-oriented leadership strategies, studying a curriculum grounded in the literature on effective practice, engaging in professionally guided practice in schools, and completing in-depth internships in schools under the guidance of on-site supervisors. In addition to the Master of Arts in Educational Leadership, a master's degree with a concentration in Catholic education is offered. The Catholic education concentration is designed to prepare students for school-level leadership positions - most commonly principalship in Catholic elementary, middle and high schools - as well as teacher leadership. Coursework engages students with the unique aspects of Catholic educational leadership, including spiritual leadership and the vocation of a Catholic school leader and non-public school administration such as funding mechanisms and applicable laws, while preparing students to take the Missouri assessments for principal certification.Duration - 2 YrsCredits - 32
