Educational Leadership (M.Ed.)

Our M.Ed. in Educational Leadership provides graduates with the confidence, content knowledge, and professional leadership skills to become effective leaders who are ready to face the challenges of education in the 21st century. 

The Educational Leadership degree program is offered via hybrid courses with classes meeting in a face-to-face format 50% of the time and through online learning activities the other 50% of the time. This rotation is done on an alternating basis for each course. 

Students are admitted into cohorts that begin a two year program in the fall of each year. 

This program prepares its students for licensure or certification within the state of Louisiana. Please for important information if you plan to move out of state.
