MAE - Educational Leadership

CU's Dr. Mildred Saffell-Smith speaks during the School of Education's spring symposium.

Cumberland University's Master of Arts in Education Degree Program with an emphasis in Educational Leadership is a program designed to help you advance toward an endorsement in administration and supervision. The degree is available as a 36-hour Master's program or as an 18-hour, add-on endorsement. Delivered partially online, the degree program offers the convenience and flexibility that your busy schedule demands, while our on-campus classes give you the opportunity to consult with your colleagues and professors in a personal, one-on-one environment.

With financial assistance, our top-of-the-line program is competitive with other area universities, and we offer technical support for all online courses, a study team for moral support and a staff dedicated to meeting the individual needs of teachers, schools and school systems. And, our course materials are among the best available. As the CU Master of Arts in Education Degree Program with an emphasis in Education Leadership is a newly constructed program, it takes advantage of the latest research and practices and includes fascinating course subjects such as curriculum design, school law and public relations.

Once you have submitted your application and are added to our list of applicants, you will receive a letter informing you of your admissions status: incomplete, provisional or fully admitted. You may complete six (6) semester hours of credit in an incomplete or provisional status; however, you must be fully admitted to have a loan processed. A few weeks before each semester begins, registration forms and information for ordering books will be made available via mail, e-mail or class web sites. These must be signed and returned every semester in order to enroll in classes.
