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 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.
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.
