M.A. Curriculum

LMU's M.A. in School Administration is is combined with the online California Preliminary Administrative Services Credential program, an essential building block to the expanded theory of K-12 school administration covered in the additional M.A. coursework. 

Applicants are required to hold a valid California base (teaching or service) credential that is "clear" (no longer preliminary) and have a minimum of four years full-time 'credentialed' experience at start of program.

The M.A. in School is Administration is 14 additional units beyond the 18 Administrative Services credential units - a total 32 units for credential plus master's.  M.A. coursework can be started before, taken concurrently, or completed within four years of completing the Administrative Services credential.

Due to the primarily online nature of our LMU Administrative Services Credential, we are currently unable, per federal guidelines, to issue documentation for international F1 visas.   

Per Federal Regulation 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v), all LMU School of Education credential/licensure programs meet the California state requirements as specified by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). The institution has not made a determination as to whether these credential, licensure, and professional preparation programs meet the requirements of states outside of California. If you are interested in practicing outside the state of California, it is recommended that you contact the respective licensing entity of that state to seek information or guidance regarding their licensure and credential requirements in advance to allow for appropriate planning.
