MEd
Educational Leadership (Principalship)
The Master of Education program in educational leadership with a concentration in principalship is designed for educators committed to systemic action and inclusive excellence. The program develops leaders who can build and sustain learning environments that empower educators to deliver excellent learning experiences and outcomes to all learners.
Offered entirely remotely, students can choose between two flexible modalities:
ASU Sync
--- This accelerated, four-semester program provides synchronous evening classes via Zoom, featuring live, interactive learning with peers and faculty. ASU Sync students need to reside in Arizona throughout the duration of the program. Students on F-1 or J-1 immigration status are not permitted to complete courses via Sync and should consult an advisor for alternative program options.
ASU Online
--- ASU offers this program in a flexibly paced, online format with several enrollment sessions throughout the year. Applicants may view
the program's ASU Online page
for program descriptions. Because it is flexibly paced, the program can typically take four to eight semesters to complete.
Both modalities are designed to meet Arizona's principal certification requirements and align with national educational leadership standards. Students seeking certification in a state other than Arizona should consult their respective state departments of education before applying.
This program prepares systems leaders to:
align staffing and resources strategically to maximize learning conditions, strengthen educator effectiveness, and meet the needs of the school community
apply systems thinking to school leadership, using data-informed strategies and research-based frameworks to strengthen instructional practices and improve outcomes for educators and students
build authentic partnerships with families, educators and community members to create environments where all voices are valued and decisions reflect the strengths and aspirations of the community
foster belonging and opportunity by implementing policies and practices that ensure every student is supported in developing their academic skills, social confidence and long-term success
A cornerstone of the program is the two-semester, school-based internship in which students work with a certified mentor principal to apply their learning in dynamic learning environments. This laboratory of practice enables students to design and implement an action research project that addresses a problem of practice within their school, preparing them to lead with confidence and competence.
ASU Sync
Students on F-1 or J-1 immigration status are not permitted to complete courses via ASU Sync.
Students seeking to use GI Bill® benefits for ASU Sync programs should contact the Pat Tillman Veterans Center regarding certain limitations.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite
the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn
a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for
some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible
for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue
the accelerated master's during the junior year of their
bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about
eligibility requirements and
how to apply
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or
professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two
diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work
with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more
than one college and provide opportunities for students to take
advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon
graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma
conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often
and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online
offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple
enrollment sessions throughout the year. See
for more information.

A minor is an approved, coherent focus of academic study in a single
discipline, other than the student's major, involving substantially fewer
hours of credit than a corresponding major. Certain major and minor
combinations may be deemed inappropriate either by the college or department
of the major or minor.

Students pursuing concurrent degrees earn two distinct degrees and receive two
diplomas. ASU offers students two ways to earn concurrent degrees: by choosing
a predetermined combination or creating their own combination. Predetermined
combinations have a single admissions application and one easy to follow major
map. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your
academic advisor. Either way, concurrent degrees allow students to pursue
their own personal or professional interests.
Concurrent degree programs are specially designed academic programs which
provide high-achieving undergraduate students the opportunity to complete two
distinct but complementary bachelor degrees at the same time. Students must
meet minimum admissions standards for both programs and be accepted
individually by both colleges offering the concurrent program.

Accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree programs are designed for
high-achieving undergraduate students who want the opportunity to share
undergraduate coursework with graduate coursework to accelerate completion of
their master's degree. These programs feature the same high-quality curriculum
taught by ASU's world-renowned faculty.

A rolling deadline means that applications will continue to be reviewed on a
regular basis until the semester begins. International students should be
mindful of visa deadlines to ensure there is time to produce necessary visa
documents. Applicants are encouraged to complete and submit application
materials as soon as possible for consideration.
A final deadline means that all applications and application materials must be
received by Graduate Admissions by the deadline date. Applications that are
incomplete may not be considered after the final deadline. Applications that
are submitted past the final deadline may not be considered.
A priority deadline means that applications submitted and completed before the
priority deadline will receive priority consideration. Applications submitted
after the priority deadlines will be reviewed in the order in which they were
completed and on a space available basis. An application is complete after all
materials are received by Graduate Admissions.
The 24-Month STEM OPT Extension is an additional benefit from United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services that allows international students in F-1
status who receive a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in an approved
STEM field to apply for a 24-month extension of their standard 12-month
Post-OPT period, twice in a lifetime. This allows international students the
opportunity to gain additional off-campus work experience in their field of
study after completion of course studies and Post-OPT. The OPT extension does
not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.
