Prepare for school leadership at all levels.

Educational administration blends leadership development with a deep understanding of schools. Through the online EDAD programs you will gain the credentials to become a principal, district superintendent, or other supervisor who values relationships and facilitates school improvement. 

EDAD students may pursue an online Masters or Specialist Degree as well as a non-degree endorsement.

"I was a superintendent before I had these classes and I was not prepared. I didn't even know what I didn't know. Going through the classes, working with the professors at UNK that were practicing administrators or who had practiced, they knew exactly what administrators, what superintendents needed to know. I enjoyed the classes because they were so practical and I could use the information daily."
