Educational Leadership Master's Program

About EDLP

The Education Leadership Program at UVM is a full Master's program that may lead to VT State Administrative Licensure.  Most of our students are employed full-time, and our program is designed with them in mind.  Most of our fall and spring semester courses take place on campus between 4 and 7pm, and we offer one or two week courses during the summer months, when public schools are not in session.  Most students complete the full 33-36 credit program in two to four years, including an action research project and an internship (usually within their place of employment).

Participants learn to:

  • understand alternative perspectives on leadership that support the development of more just, humane, and diverse organizations.

  • construct effective ways to demonstrate caring and collaborative leadership.

  • create networks which support leadership and change.

While the program is designed within the broad concept of leadership, three major strands of concentration are available.  The areas of concentration are:

STRAND I: School Leader with Administrative Endorsement
Educational AdministrationCurriculum Leadership

STRAND II: Organizational/Community Leadership
Leadership in Private or Nonprofit Educational Organizations
Teacher Leadership

STRAND III: Human Services Leadership
Collaboration across communities, human service agencies, and schools
Using evaluation for enhancing program outcomes
