"The Master of Arts in Educational Leadership Program is designed to produce leaders who have a deep and broad understanding of academic and organizational management, who seek to be change agents capable of initiating and sustaining positive innovations, and who are reflective learners whose research skills and acquired knowledge base will provide the opportunity for advances in a democratic environment.

A skilled professional in educational leadership often works within a school setting, either as a principal in an elementary or secondary school or in a college setting as a department head. Others may work with local school boards, manage private daycares, administrate government programs, or work as curriculum coordinators for schools or community programs. Individuals with a degree in educational leadership may even go on to work in business administration, public policy or direct programs in medical or correctional facilities.

The University of Atlanta’s curriculum in Educational Leadership has been scrupulously designed to provide comprehensive and balanced study of key areas, among them: contemporary issues in education, theory and practice of educational management, principles and methods of teaching and learning, financial dimensions of the educational process and system, public policy and politics in the educational context, personnel administration within school systems, new technologies in education, the legal aspects of school management, and applied educational research methods. Program participants will gain a refined understanding of action-research, and will be called upon to apply the products of their learning within a variety of contexts and settings, the results of which will be shared with student peers and others and will constitute the basis of extended analytical contributions."
