The Educational Administration Master of Education degree, a professional degree, is designed to provide the preparation required for principals, administrative specialists, superintendents, and other educational administration positions. Students are encouraged to select Master of Education courses which correspond with the educational administration/supervision licensure they may seek. Licensure program courses and master’s degree courses may be taken in unison or separately. However, a master’s degree is required before the student is eligible to apply with their state for licensure or be accepted into a licensure only program. Educational Administration Licensure/Supervision programs include but are not limited to Principal, Specialists, Superintendents, Supervisor of Instruction, Director of Special Education, and Director of Pupil Personnel.
Xavier University also offers an innovative, integrated MSN/MEd program consisting of 47 semester credit hours. The student will receive two separate degrees, the Master of Science in Nursing and the Master of Science in Education. This program was developed in response to a community need for nurse educators. The MSN/MEd prepares the graduate to administer and teach in educational settings (i.e., CE providerships, in-service educators and nurse educators). Please contact the School of Nursing for additional details.
