WELCOME
The programs of Educational Administration and Supervision are within the School of Educational Foundations, Leadership and
Policy (EFLP) in the College of Education and Human Development at Bowling Green State University. Students may choose from
two graduate degree programs (M.Ed., Ed.S.) as well as seek administrative licensure:
Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Administration and Supervision
Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) in Educational Administration and Supervision
These programs are offered both on-campus and off-campus. Students seeking the M.Ed. in Educational Administration and Supervision
and/or administrative licensure at the building level through an off-campus program, participate in the Principal Cohort Leadership
Academy (PCLA). Students interested in the Specialist degree in Educational Administration and Supervision and/or district-level
administrative licensure participate in the Superintendent Cohort Leadership Academy (SCLA).
The mission of our programs is to advance the understanding and practice of artistic, insightful, inventive, and ethical leadership
in educational settings to contribute to and share the benefits of a just, caring, and democratic society. In keeping with
this mission, the goal of the graduate programs is to develop effective leaders with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
for helping to build learning communities within a culturally diverse society. We are committed to enhancing students' knowledge,
capability, skill, vision, and perspective of educational leadership as well as providing additional insight into each individual's
role in transforming educational organizations and communities.
The design of the graduate programs is based upon the belief that individuals learn to become effective leaders through a
developmental process which includes inquiry, practice, and personal reflection. More than that, however, such leadership
requires an integration of such knowledge into a multi-dimensional leadership perspective, which enables the exercise of a
high level of personal artistry and integrity in dealing with the challenges, ambiguities, and paradoxes which characterize
educational organizations. This process is one to which the Educational Administration & Leadership Studies programs contribute,
but the process itself continues throughout the career of the individual as he or she constructs personal meaning from new
learning.
Additionally as a Partner Member in the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA - http://www.ucea.org/), we strive to uphold their mission of improving the preparation of educational leaders and promoting the development of
professional knowledge in school improvement and administration as well.
