Do All of Your Coursework Online
Your online coursework is designed to prepare you for the PRAXIS II exam, which is required to become a certified principal in South Carolina. The PRAXIS II tests your knowledge of educational administration and supervision, across six broad themes; 1) Vision and Goals, 2) Teaching and Learning, 3) Managing Operational Systems and Safety, 4) Collaborating with Key Stakeholders, 5) Ethics and Integrity, and 6) The Educational System. For example, our School Finance course addresses the themes of Vision and Goals, Managing Operational Systems and Safety, Collaborating with Key Stakeholders, Ethics and Integrity, and The Educational System. In the course Addressing Diversity in the Educational Setting, you and your colleagues will reflect upon the themes of Vision and Goals and Collaborating with Key Stakeholders, while also examining Teaching and Learning through the lens of diversity.
Earn Your Degree in an Accelerated Format

During two of those semesters, including one summer, you’ll complete internships with mentor administrators at the elementary or secondary school level, depending on your licensure goal. For a full semester, you’ll have the opportunity to lead, work, and make decisions that are typical of a school principal.
