The goal of the Educational Leadership Program is to produce principals and leaders who match the needs of the school districts. The program is standard driven and addresses guidelines and benchmarks articulated by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC), Educational Leadership Consortium Council, Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), and Louisiana Standards for School Principals (LPS).
Graduates with degrees in education leadership have the skill set and knowledge to work in multiple fields with the degree or with additional training. Among those fields are: educational counselors, adult basic and secondary education, education teachers, directors, education administrators, self-enrichment education teachers, instructional coordinators, education administrators and health educators.
