Program Description
The educational leadership program offers
graduate studies at the master’s and
doctoral levels, plus administrator certification
programs for the superintendent, residency
principal, and residency program administrator
certificates. The master’s (M.A. and Ed.M.)
and doctoral (Ed.D. and Ph.D.) degree programs
offer a specialization in K-12 educational
leadership. Program faculty provide a balance and
integration of practical experience, theory, and
research and aim to prepare educational leaders
who function as scholar-practitioners. All
campuses offer the educational leadership
master’s degrees, certification programs,
and access to the state-wide doctor of education
degree; one-year residency is required for the
doctor of philosophy degree. The
University’s educational leadership program
is one of 70 doctoral-granting programs
nationwide selected for membership in the
University Council for Educational
Administration, a national consortium dedicated
to the improvement of educational leadership
preparation and practice. The administrator
certification programs are organized around the
national ISLLC (Interstate School Leaders
Licensure Consortium) standards, which have been
adopted as the certification standards for
Washington State licensure. The goal of these
standards and our programs is to prepare
educational leaders who can provide effective
leadership to promote learning for all children
in K-12 schools. Washington State
University’s innovative field-based
principal and superintendent certification
programs serve certification candidates in a
cohort-based program that promotes a close
professional network.
