School Administration, M.S.A. Flex
Program of Studies
The program requires 42-45 credits hours of study (depending on the internship option taken) including 30 hours in the major with a concentration in curriculum and instruction and 12 hours in a field-based internship and internship seminar. During their five semesters of study, students in the Off-Campus M.S.A. Program take seven courses in Educational Leadership (21 credits), three courses in Instructional Leadership (9 credits), and four courses related to a Supervised Internship and its associated Seminar (12 credits).
Course work is scheduled to take two and one-half years or five semesters to complete. Subject to their advisor’s approval, students may transfer up to 9 hours in prior course work into the program. The transfer credits must be comparable to courses in the program, have been taken at the graduate level for a grade within five years from the admission date, and may not have been used to fulfill the requirements for another degree.
All Flex participants meet the same academic requirements, take the same courses and earn the same graduate-level degree (M.S.A.) as students completing the full-time, on-campus program.
