EdLeads is a 30-credit hour, cohort based program designed to meet the needs of in-service teachers and school administrators who wish to enroll in a program of graduate studies leading to the M.Ed. degree in Educational Foundations.

The program can be pursued without career interruption through a combination of online work and on-campus classes concentrated over two consecutive summer terms that last five weeks each. The entire program may be completed in fourteen months. EdLeads emphasizes issues of cultural and multicultural awareness and diversity in a comparative and international context. It also embraces the idea of professional leadership for teachers and other educators.

The next cohort is expected to begin in summer semester 2011. Application instructions will be available late fall 2010.
