Specialist’s Degree
The specialist's degree is a sixth-year, self-contained degree program
at the post-master's level. In broad terms the specialist's degree
indicates that the recipient has completed a program with a concentration
in educational administration. The program is designed for students
who need additional preparation beyond the master's degree. The basic
components of the degree may vary in emphasis but will generally include
the following: a set of core courses, a demonstration of relevant competency
in research, a clinical field study experience, and electives designed
to assist the student in achievement of career goals. The program
normally includes one or more experiences which provide opportunity to
integrate theory and practice and a summative experience as a context for
measuring achievement and intellectual growth. Academic credit applicable
to the degree will only be recognized/awarded for those courses designed
to extend skills beyond the master's degree. Degree credit is not
awarded for courses designed or required to meet prerequisites for admission.
