Certification-related components of this program (i.e., Supervisor and Principal certifications) require students to hold an Instructional Certificate and 3-years full-time teaching or educational services employment.
The programs in K-12 Education Leadership, Management and Policy prepare students for a variety of careers in K-12 education leadership and administration. The M.A.E. degree program prepares education professionals for leadership positions and careers in K-12 educational environments.
Students are prepared for nomination to the NJ Department of Education for the Supervisor certification in as few as two semesters. Upon completion of the M.A.E. in approximately five semesters, qualified students are eligible to be nominated for Principal certification.

To be considered for admission, applicants are required to submit the following materials:
