The mission of the Department of Administrative and Policy Studies is to prepare educational leaders, advance professional knowledge, and improve the research and practice of educational administrators and policymakers. Administrative studies contribute to the development of knowledge and skills essential to the effective administration and management of educational organizations in regional; national and international context. Policy studies focus on the decisions, plans, courses of action, and
outcomes that occur as administrators and policymakers seek to achieve educational objectives.
Consider joining our students from more than 20 countries. Take advantage of faculty projects in Indonesia, Mongolia, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Kenya, Korea, and Chile to expand your conceptual and career horizons.
Students at the master's degree, certification, and doctoral levels prepare for a variety of professional roles, including managerial and staff positions in schools, school districts, higher education institutions, and national ministries of education. Some students prepare for research and policy positions in local, state, national, and international agencies; others go on to careers in research and teaching at the college or university level. The Department also provides service courses for students
from other departments and schools at the masters and doctoral levels in education and society; history and sociology of education, education and culture, educational anthropology, supervision, administration, education law, qualitative inquiry, interpretive research and evaluation.
