Catholic Educational Leadership Certificate

The Certificate of Advanced Study in Catholic Educational Leadership is specifically designed for Catholic school leaders who already have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education. Those whose degree is in educational administration from a secular university would gain a distinctly Catholic perspective. Those whose bachelor’s degree is in a subject area other than educational administration would receive preparation in essential areas of educational administration within a Catholic school context.
