• Develop basic skills in organizational management, coordination of student and staff personnel and communication.

Requirements

Completion of 30 units of coursework for degree, including an action research project.

Transfer of Credits

PLEASE NOTE: The Tier 1 Administrative Services Credential Program is a standards-based program rather than a course-based program. Because the state standards are spread throughout all courses of the Educational Administration program, transferring credits is very difficult because a candidate may have taken a course with a similar description but which lacks specific state standards. As such, transfer credits cannot be accepted into the Administration program.
