Educational Leadership Pathway
The Educational Leadership Pathway offers a clear and practical route for educators aiming to advance their careers by connecting three graduate programs at the University of Michigan-Flint. By engaging with these programs, educators can set themselves on a path from classroom practitioner to principal to central office administrator while cultivating professional relationships with faculty, professionals, and peers.
Each of these programs operates independently but is offered in an online format. Students benefit from a unique blend of online asynchronous coursework and monthly synchronous sessions, which take place one Saturday per month. Courses are instructed by a diverse faculty, including tenure-track faculty and lecturers who have prior experience as K-12 principals and superintendents.
Admissions to each of the three programs are separate, allowing for entry into the pathway at various points, provided the entry requirements are met.
