Educational Administration Program to be Offered at Mt. Olive

The Educational Leadership Department will be offering the Educational Administration Master’s Degree (12 courses) at Mount Olive School beginning in June 2011.  The program leads to a General Administrative Certification (Type 75) in Illinois and Initial Administrative Certification in Missouri.  This certification is appropriate for such positions as assistant principal, principal, director and assistant superintendent.

For those individuals who already have a Master’s Degree, the Educational Administration Program will offer a Certificate Only option (9 courses) or a Specialist Degree in general administration option (10 courses).  Both of these options lead to a General Administrative Certificate.  Additional information is available at siue.edu/educationaladministation.

Coursework Schedule
In the summer, classes will be held in a compact format during the day.  During the fall and spring semesters, classes will be held on Tuesday evenings.  Most courses will be offered in an eight-week format and several courses may be offered online.  The overall schedule of the program is designed for participants to complete a full Master’s Degree within a two-year period or six semesters (2 courses per semester).

Cost
Off-campus rates apply!  Current tuition is $751.50 and off-campus fees for the summer semester are scheduled to be $169.65 for a total of $921.15 for a three-semester hour class.  Tuition waivers will be accepted.  (Waivers are issued to cooperating teachers who host student teachers.)
