Yes. While the MSE in Educational Leadership prepares graduates for building-level administration roles such as principal and assistant principal, the skills developed in this program are directly applicable to a range of leadership roles that don’t require formal administrator licensure. Department chairs, grade-level leads, instructional coaches, curriculum specialists and teachers pursuing leadership responsibilities within their schools regularly benefit from this degree. If your goal is to grow as a school leader without necessarily moving into administration, this program builds the organizational, curriculum and personnel management skills that support that path.
