Graduate Certificate Principal
Educational Leadership  (GRCT-TCPR)

The Department of Educational Leadership offers a Graduate Certificate for students pursuing a Building Level Principal Type B endorsement with the State of Alaska.

Students pursuing a graduate certificate are required to complete the Principal Core courses for a total of 24 credits.

 

Recommended Progression of Studies

The program will (on a case by case basis) review for approval of courses from other accredited universities that meet the course and content guidelines of our core theory classes. Students are expected to complete at least three of the four core theory courses prior to applying for the field experience internships/seminar classes.

The Educational Leadership courses are web based courses, unless otherwise noted. Candidates meet with their instructor at pre-determined times on Elluminate (ELIVE) each week. Access to, and familiarity with, web based technology is essential. Visit UAA Distance Education website for more information.

The College of Education is now required to maintain an electronic depository for key student assignments. We are using an application called TaskStream for this purpose. Key assignment(s) for this class will be posted on TaskStream. Please use the TaskStream Tutorial Guides to get started.
