Master of School Administration - Union County

Admission

In addition to the general requirements for admission to the Graduate School, applicants must have a minimum of three years successful teaching experience, a Class A North Carolina teaching license or equivalent, submit a personal statement of purpose, a complete resume showing evidence of leadership, a copy of the teacher license, and recommendations from school administrators who can attest to your potential success as a school principal. Application deadline is March 15 for enrollment in either the following summer or fall semesters.

Admission decisions are based on an analysis of applicant profiles made by program faculty and clinical instructors. Applicants with the highest profile rankings are invited to participate in interviews. Program faculty, clinical faculty, acting principals/assistant principals, and student interns serve on the interview teams. These interviews are designed to provide the applicant an opportunity to show evidence of academic strengths, leadership potential, and personal characteristics. After the interview, the applicant provides a writing sample from a given prompt.

The Master of School Administration Program faculty are committed to achieving diversity among the students admitted in each year's cohort group and will make admission decisions accordingly. The Graduate School will notify applicants of their admission status.
