Individuals who work within the educational environments around the world are increasingly being called upon to assume roles of leadership that influence the lives of the children they teach. This degree is designed with a required core of six courses centered on organizational change and leadership within the international school community.

In addition to the core courses, students will have the opportunity to specialize in one of a number of areas: International Counseling; Special Education and TESOL. Each area of specialization will require the completion of a four course sequence designed to enhance expertise and complement the core leadership component.

Each concentration area will also be available as a stand-alone certificate program offered independent of the Master's degree.
