Overview
Students in the Educational Leadership program of the Northeastern Illinois University may select one of two concentrations:
- Higher Education Leadership
- School Leadership (PreK-12)
Program objectives for the concentrations have been designed to develop exemplary administrative leaders and to foster their continuing growth and effectiveness. Specifically, students in the School Leadership (PreK-12) concentration develop competencies related to effective leadership, educational management practices, and staff development at the school level.
