Ursuline is has launched a superintendent licensure program for Fall 2016.
Our graduate education programs prepare individuals to function as leaders in a school and administrative setting, focusing on the unique challenges facing both public and nonpublic schools.
The program emphasis includes:
- working with others through the development of positive relationships
- identifying values and operating out of a value-based system
- developing personal and professional skills necessary for effective leadership
- understanding and integrating knowledge required for leading an effective school
Educational research indicates that the principal of a school is vital in establishing a quality educational program for the challenges of today's society. The leadership necessary for quality school administration calls for a unique preparation. Integral to the program is the emphasis on a shared mission and vision for the school. The mission and vision are developed in collaboration with the school community and are implemented by the administration, faculty and staff of the school. Students in the program experience collaborative interactions with faculty, experienced school administrators in both private and public schools, and their colleagues in a variety of classes, seminars and field work opportunities.
There are over 265 Ursuline College graduates serving as administrators in the Northeastern Ohio Area.
