Crafted in collaboration with the American Association of University Administrators (AASA), Olivet Nazarene University’s Masters Degree Program (ONU) Master of Arts in Education (M.A.), University Improvement Leadership program takes distance learning to a new level with a unique format that’s both convenient and dynamic. Combining online accessibility with on-the-ground field work, the program enables teachers to collaborate with other educators and share best practices for applying what they learn in real-life situations. Utilizing an online classroom as well as multimedia, teachers receive first-hand knowledge of what it’s like to be a leader in today’s schools. There are no campus visits and teachers study when and where it is most convenient for them.

The M.A. in Education, School Improvement Leadership distance learning program includes two practicums that provide a diverse set of activities designed to prepare teachers for taking on the role of college principal or administrator. Both are organized within the context of the curriculum so they can easily fit into the busiest of schedules.

Participants create a Professional Portfolio highlighting the knowledge they’ve gained and their ability to assume a leadership role. The end result is a masters program that goes beyond the typical distance learning format to render a truer sense of what it’s like to be a principal.

Many students complete the program in several years. Graduates of the ONU M.A. in Education, College Improvement Leadership distance learning program may be eligible for Illinois Type 75 Administrative Certification, contingent upon passing the state test for Educational Leadership.

The application deadline for the Summer 2007 term is May 4, 2007. For more information, please contact an Educational Advisor toll-free at (800) 339-1149, or download a free program information packet on line by visiting www.onudegrees.com/search.
