NDNU’s Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program is a unique, thirty-unit program that brings a Master of Arts in School Administration with it.  The coursework in the program addresses the critical juncture between theory and practice in instructional leadership. Credential candidates will be supported by University instructors as well as field-based partners during the program. The usual time between first and last courses is a two-calendar-year period.  Courses are offered at convenient late afternoon-evening times and Saturdays.

NDNU’s Preliminary  Administrative Services Credential and Master of Arts Degree in School Administration authorizes the candidate to serve as a superintendent, associate or assistant superintendent, principal, assistant principal, supervisor, consultant, coordinator, or in an equivalent, intermediate-level administrative position.

An intern option in the NDNU program is also offered.  NDNU and the individual student may arrange a paid internship on an as-needed basis in coordination with the candidate’s school district.

See the NDNU General Catalog for program requirements and course descriptions.
