The degree program is based on requirements for the Elementary and/or Secondary School Principal Standard Certificate as set forth by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. The Educational Leadership degree program prepares school leaders who demonstrate the knowledge and skills required of future administrators. The curriculum is designed in an integrated problem-based mode to promote an understanding of the relationships between the various knowledge and skill areas in education leadership. Clinical internship tasks and field experiences provide the necessary transition from the study of content areas toward a more realistic workplace experience.
