The Department

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

Education Administration. The mission statement of the Education Administration Program is "Providing Educational Leadership for Central California, the State, the Nation, and the World." 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 P-12 school setting.

The Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program is a 24 semester unit program that provides basic preparation for employment in a P-12 public school administrative position. The Professional Administrative Services Credential Program is also a 24 semester unit program. Once an individual completes the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential, application must be made to the Professional Administrative Services Credential Program within the first year of employment. The program provides individually designed advanced preparation in professional development, transformational leadership, school law, school finance, school human resource management, and other areas necessary for leadership in all education settings.

Higher Education Administration. A selection of elective courses associated with various interest areas is available for those seeking a career in higher education or a related field. This curriculum provides professional development for careers in universities, community colleges, government, corrections, hospitals, social services, the military, business, religious organizations, and other positions requiring expertise in education administration.

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.
