Educational leadership involves shaping the next generation. Positions in this field include principals, superintendents, assistant principals, academic deans, instructional coaches, and directors of curriculum and instruction. These administrators provide educational, curricular, and financial leadership, as well as ensure the smooth day-to-day operations of schools.
There is a lot of variation in educational leadership degrees. While they are all graduate degrees, the title changes from Educational Leadership to Educational Administration, with numerous titles in between. Not all educational leadership degrees end in principal licensure, though; to gain principal licensure, more education is required, although a few of the programs on the list provide the option to continue to the principalship or combine the program with the master's degree.
"Anyone wanting to enter the ranks of educational leadership is highly advised to get a master's degree," said Nick Plato, the Managing Editor of Top Master's in Education. "In most public school settings, and many private ones, it is essentially a prerequisite for consideration."
The Top Master's in Education methodology uses evidence-based research of various relevant categories. Data for this ranking came from the National Center for Educational Statistics, the National Council for Teacher Quality (NCTQ), U.S. News and World Report, and school websites. Criteria used for this list includes the school's reputation, NCTQ evaluations, student to faculty ratio, tuition, and mid-career salary.
