Emphasis on the Principalship

M.ED. IN ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION

You want to advance your career by making the move up to administration, whether as a principal, assistant principal, head coach, or central office member. But to do that, you need your master's degree and your principal certificate.

We've got your solution: The M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision with an Emphasis on the Principalship program will allow you to earn your master's degree, and will prepare you to take the TExES #268 Principal Certification Exam and the TExES #368 (PASL) Assessment in as little as twelve months. You can start at the beginning of any semester, and the program is offered in face-to-face, fully online, and hybrid formats.

Whether you want to follow a traditional route of taking one or two courses each semester, or prefer the fast action of our one-year partnership Fast Track program, UHV is the place to be.
