Is becoming a school leader among your professional goals? Are you passionate about being an educator?

ECU’s master of school administration program in educational leadership is designed to prepare individuals to become school leaders. Program studies are aligned with the North Carolina School Executive (NCSE) standards and include strategic planning, problem solving, instructional leadership, managerial leadership, political analysis, organizational theory and development, and leadership skill application. You will also receive internship experience and have the option to pursue full- or part-time study.

With successful completion of the appropriate licensure exam, the MSA may lead to license in the areas of administration (North Carolina principal license 012, class P) and supervision (North Carolina curriculum instructional specialist level I license 113, class S).

Teaching is a wonderful career.  Employment prospects are excellent due to a shortage of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) teachers in these subjects, and teachers recently received a 13.5% pay increase. 

This course is aimed at students who have or are soon to complete, a suitable HND from a college in Scotland. It's a 4-year route into teaching and comprises two years of study for an HND, followed by two years of study at Strathclyde. You have direct entry into Year 3 of the BSc (Hons) in Education and Curricular Studies with a Teaching Qualification.

Our unique course offers a pathway from an HND to an honours degree with a teaching qualification, opening up a career opportunity not available until now.
