This Converse Ed.S. degree is a sixth-year
program of 36 semester hours in education. The program focuses on the preparation
for certification as administrators/supervisors at the elementary or secondary
level. It is designed to extend the competence of the candidate
in all phases of school administration.
The special focus in this Ed.S. curriculum is on the preparation of instructional leaders.
Applicants must have the following:
- a valid South Carolina teacher’s certificate
- three years of teaching experience
- an appropriate master’s degree for teaching at the elementary or secondary school level.
- a 3.0 GPA in their master's degree from an accredited institution
- and a record of successful full-time teaching in the public schools.
Individuals interested in moving from the classroom to an administrative position—such as principal—will find this a challenging avenue of preparation. At the conclusion of this program, students will undertake an extensive administrative internship in an appropriate public school setting in order to apply their administrative skills to the instructional leadership dimension of public education.
Programs are approved by the South Carolina
State Department of Education. (Read
