 Return to: Programs by Department
The Administrative Services Credential program was designed collaboratively with school districts to prepare graduates for positions of leadership in P-12 educational settings. The Credential authorizes the holder to serve as a vice principal, principal, coordinator, program director, superintendent, or in other district or county level positions. The Intern Credential authorizes individuals to serve in administrative positions while completing the approved Preliminary program of study. Areas of competence addressed in each program are developmental and expand upon prior learning and experiences included in each level of preparation. Throughout all programs, participants progress from concrete applications of what is being studied to more advanced applications of theory into practice that call for the critique and redefinition of one’s knowledge base. Likewise, throughout the programs, multiple learning opportunities including field experiences are provided that emphasize the acquisition of personal awareness and personal reflection about leadership.

Internship Program In Educational Administration Candidates to be employed immediately may enter the program as an administrative intern at any point in the calendar year as long as there is a supporting educational agency request. Candidates enrolled as interns complete the same coursework as Preliminary Administrative Services Credential candidates; however, the fieldwork is modified to suit the needs of an intern. PASC I/Intern Program Course of Study
The program is usually completed in two semesters; however, candidates can extend the time needed for program completion by meeting with an advisor and customizing the program to meet individual needs.
