Administration Concentration

Who it's for

Individuals seeking a terminal degree and administrative licensure (principals, vice principals, district office administrators, superintendents).

Students who already have their administrative license—PreAL or ProAL, formerly IAL or CAL—can transfer in 12 credit hours. More

Courses

The courses for this concentration are the same as those for the administrative licensure programs offered by the George Fox College of Education. The administrative licensure program will fulfill the 12 concentration credit requirements for students who select this track.

Students who choose the administration concentration will complete one of these two administrative licensure programs:

Outcomes

• Understand the developmental needs of students at all authorization levels
• Be able to conduct and use research as a tool for improving a learning organization
• Understand the goals of the Oregon Content Standards and how to use them as a guide in assessing your own school's goals and evaluating progress
• Be prepared to lead teachers in helping students meet the standards and in continuing their professional development

Transfer Credits

Upon approval by the department, transfer of up to 6 credit hours beyond the master's degree is allowed toward the EdD program. Students choosing the Administration Concentration who have previously completed an administrative licensure program may transfer in their credits/license to satisfy  12 credit hours of this track. Students must have earned a grade of "B" or better for a course to be considered for transfer. All transfer courses must be post-masters from a regionally accredited institution. Transfer credit will be evaluated by the faculty upon admission to the program.
