The Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) prepares persons for leadership roles in educational administration positions.  The Ed.S. is a terminal degree appropriate for students wishing to earn a post-master’s, but not doctoral, degree.  Persons seeking admission to the Ed.S. program should be definite about academic and professional goals and aspirations.  Students are cautioned that satisfactory completion of courses prior to admission to the Department program does not guarantee admission to the program.

Admission Requirements

Applicants to the Ed.S. program should submit application materials to the Office of Admissions and Orientation, Graduate Admissions, and designate Educational Leadership.  In addition to The Graduate College requirements, the Department requires the submission of an autobiography, 3 graduate reference forms, completion of a Resume of Leadership Experience form (available from the Educational Leadership office), an interview with at least two members of the Educational Leadership faculty, and review and acceptance by the faculty as a whole at a meeting scheduled for student admission.  The admission meetings are held in November and March.
