• What is Accreditation?
• Why it Matters

This program is also nationally recognized as a high-quality program through the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA). 

The Educational Leadership program has, as its highest priority, the academic foundation and practical experience necessary to prepare its candidates for an Indiana license as a Building Level Administrator. Through an accelerated cohort, or self-paced pathway, you can attain a M.S. in Educational Leadership that connects extensive field experience in regional schools with the learning expectations of each academic course and open the door to a rewarding profession.

International Students:  The course work in the Masters of Education with a Major in Educational Leadership program will not satisfy the United States Department of Homeland Security and Purdue University Graduate School requirement that you take 6 credit hours of face to face classes per semester. As such, Purdue Fort Wayne is unable to issue a Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility, for this program.
