Program Description:

The M.A.Ed. in Educational Supervision requires a minimum of 30 semester hours. This degree program is designed specifically for international English-speaking schools to prepare school leaders for positions such as principals, assistant principals, teacher leaders, instructional coaches, and directors. 

A cohort model is used to build a strong network of professionals.  We blend theory and practice as we prepare educational leaders on the following leadership standards: Mission, Vision, and Improvement; Ethics and Professional Norms; Equity; Inclusiveness, and Cultural Responsiveness; Learning and Instruction; Community and External Leadership; Operations and Management; and Building Professional Capacity (National Policy Board for Educational Administration, 2018).

Some courses are offered completely online. Some courses are offered in a hybrid format, meeting approximately one-week (Mon-Fri) in-person for 3 hours in the evening, with the rest of the course format occurring online.

This program does not lead to North Carolina principal licensure.

Required Courses (30 hours)


The core curriculum is designed to help leaders provide more equitable outcomes for all students and to use Improvement Science to effectively deal with problems and lead school personnel to create sustainable positive change in schools around the world.

Alternate Courses


Alternate courses may be substituted by the program coordinator based on a cohort’s unique needs in their international school setting.
