Preparing Future Leaders!

Today’s education requires more than just the status quo. That’s where we come in!

We’re a dynamic statewide program!

Education touches every corner of the state. So why shouldn’t we?

As we help prepare the leaders necessary to meet student needs in our current K-12 landscape, here are a few of the highlights:

WSU’s Educational Leadership program is one of 70 doctoral-granting programs nationwide selected for membership in the University Council for Educational Administration, a national consortium dedicated to the improvement of educational leadership preparation and practice. WSU’s graduate students have the opportunity to participate in UCEA’s annual convention and other professional activities.
WSU’s administrator certification programs are organized around the National Educational Leadership Program (NELP) standards, which have been adopted as the certification standards for Washington State licensure.
