General requirements for admission to graduate study at the master’s level in educational administration are the same as those of the Graduate School. Applicants must hold, or have held, a K-12 teaching position to be admitted to the program.
All candidates for the master’s degree in educational administration must complete a program portfolio. Students also are required to participate in a school-based internship experience. The program portfolio requirements follow the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education standards, Educational Leadership Constituent Council standards, and Illinois State Board of Education General Administration Endorsement standards. The internship is supervised and evaluated by an administrator in the field and a faculty member of Educational Administration of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
The deadline is approximately one month before the start of classes. (Definite dates are on the application itself.)
