The Department of Administrative Leadership
offers a graduate program of studies
with two emphases: one on educational
administration and supervision and
the other on adult and continuing education
leadership.
The emphasis on educational administration
and supervision prepares the student
for a career as a school district administrator,
elementary, middle, or secondary
school administrator, director of special
education and pupil services, school business
manager, or curriculum director.
Through this program of studies, the student
can fulfill professional education requirements
for administrative and supervisory
licenses in Wisconsin and most
other states.
The emphasis on adult and continuing
education leadership prepares the student
for positions of leadership in postsecondary
programs including vocational
and technical education, university extension,
continuing professional education,
in-service training and human resource
development, adult basic education, adult
literacy, and educational leadership and
program development in health, religious,
manpower and other agencies and community
educational programs.
The Department also offers a course of
study leading to the Specialist Certificate
in Administrative Leadership - required for
the school superintendency and recommended
for other school or adult education
administrative or supervisory positions.
Under the auspices of the PhD program in
Urban Education, the Department offers
doctoral level specializations in educa-
tional administration and in adult and continuing
education.
