How You’ll Learn

With 12 courses total, 8 of them dedicated to leadership. Each course is 5 weeks long, with a week off in between terms. Most students take one course at time so you can balance work and family responsibilities with your courses. Plus, courses are asynchronous, so you can access them on your time during the week.
You’ll complete a 10-week internship during your program that will demonstrate your expertise and change management plans for education.
Close your program with a capstone course that showcases your original contribution to the field of education and how what you’ve learned has made a measurable difference.
