Program In Educational Administration

The Educational Administration program develops exceptional educational leaders.  Designed primarily for part-time students who are working adults, this program attracts aspiring administrators who are passionate about making a difference--who see themselves as leaders of other professionals in pursuit of excellence for schools and organizations.  The program offers a master of arts in education or a master or education degree.

The program offers four specializations to meet the needs of leaders in K-12 and post-secondary schools and other organizations: superintendent certification, principal certification for public, independent and Catholic school educators, program administrator certification; and general administration.

Master's Degree Program Specializations

Students can choose to pursue a Master of Arts (M.A.) or a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree in Educational Administration. Seattle University offers three specializations at the master's level:

  • The Principal Program prepares students to be head of school for public and private K-12.  Principal certification requires K-12 certification.
  • Program Administration focuses on developing programs in curriculum and instruction, special education, and other areas, including central office level leadership.
  • General Administration develops administrators for post-secondary and other organizations other than K-12.

Washington State certification for both principals and program administrators is available as part of the master's degrees or as post-master's programs.

Post-Master's Principal and Program Administrator Certificate

The post-master's principal or program administrator certificate program is designed for individuals with graduate degrees in education.  A program of study will be developed for each person admitted to the program, designing the number of credits needed for certification.

Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Administration (Ed.S.)

Students with a master's degree can tailor their own programs for this post-master's degree of 45 credits.  Students can complete the coursework needed to qualify for state certification as a principal or program administrator as part of this degree program.
