Education & Human Development, Mechanicsville
The George Washington University's three graduate degrees in Educational & Human Development prepares practitioners in teaching or teaching-related careers for leadership roles as principals, mid-level administrators, and instructional supervisors in the nation's K-12 educational systems.
As a result of increasing shortage of school-based professionals who are prepared to move into leadership positions in schools and school districts, opportunities abound for those with graduate and advanced degrees in educational leadership. Graduates of the Educational & Human Development programs at The George Washington University will be ready to meet the increasing needs and demands that await 21st Century educators.
Our expert program faculty scholars, authors, and experienced former principals, superintendents, and state educational officers bring to life in the classroom the obstacles faced by educational administrators in today's society. Our curriculum is designed to help administrators become intellectual leaders who understand curriculum and instruction, who motivate and support teachers and staff, and whose ideas will help to lead today's and tomorrow's vibrant educational community.
The master's program, which includes courses and field experiences as recommended by NCATE standards, has been designed to meet the coursework requirements that are part of the licensure process. Although state licensing requirements vary from state to state, the SLLA test is part of the licensure process in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia. Upon completion of this program, students will be qualified to take the School Leaders Licensure Assessment (SLLA) test for administrative or supervisory licensure.

- Eleven-course (33-credit-hour) program
- Classes meet one night per week for eight-week sessions
