Instructional Leadership Graduate Program

Welcome to the website for the Instructional Leadership program. We offer the both M.A.
and Ed.S. in Instructional Leadership. The Instructional Leadership program prepares graduate candidates for positions in school administration.

Classes leading to the Master of Arts degree (M.A.) and Specialist in Education degree
(Ed .S.) with a major in Instructional Leadership are available on and off campus through
the Department of Curriculum & Instruction. These programs are designed to prepare students seeking licensure as a beginning administrator in Tennessee. However, since teachers are in many kinds of leadership roles these programs should enhance their careers.

The M.A. degree program in Instructional Leadership requires the completion of an approved program of graduate study with a minimum of 33 semester hours. An Ed.S. degree may be earned upon the completion of 30 semester hours of approved graduate level study beyond the M.A. degree.
