Preliminary Administrative Services
The Department of Educational Research, Administration, and Foundations sponsors one graduate degree and offers coursework in support of all the education graduate and credential programs. Consequently, departmental faculty are involved in some fashion in nearly all formal school programs.
Program
Educational Administration. The Master of Arts in Education with
an option in administration and supervision is a 30-unit degree program.
The Administrative Services Credential Program is a two-tier program that
provides authorization to function in an administrative position in a K-12
school setting. The Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program is a 24 semester unit program that provides basic preparation for employment in a K-12 public school administrative position. The Professional Administrative Services Credential Program is also a 24 semester unit program that provides advanced preparation and is taken following completion of the preliminary credential.
Research. The research program component is an integral part of all graduate degrees and offers coursework in research methodology theory and practices, measurement, program evaluation, and qualitative and quantitative analyses. The faculty also play an important role in providing consultation and support to graduate students' research.
Foundations. Courses in the cultural and social foundations of education are fundamental to under standing contemporary education, and with educational psychology, are found in all teacher education programs. The foundations faculty have developed coursework tailored to a variety of teaching credential options, ranging from early childhood through high school.
