MSEd Higher Education Systems, Policy, and Leadership

Educational systems are evolving across the globe – structurally and culturally – requiring PK-22 educational leaders to engage more than ever in transformational leadership practices. Purdue’s Higher Education Systems, Policy, and Leadership concentration is a non-licensure master’s concentration that focuses on preparing leadership-ready graduates who challenge the status quo of PK-22 education both domestically and internationally. This concentration engages students in critical thinking about PK-22 educational systems, leadership, and governance, as well as current issues and policies impacting the internal and external PK-22 educational environments. The program features the integration of select PK-12 and HE courses that explore the cultural, historical, economic and social factors present in contemporary education systems with course offerings in educational leadership, governance, policy, finance, law, and international education.
