Independent School Leadership Studies (non-degree)
In response to new requirements instituted by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, heads of independent schools are now required to provide evidence that they have earned a minimum of fifteen (15) graduate credits in school leadership/administration. The School of Education has developed a sequence of five, three-credit graduate courses in order to meet this need. It is anticipated that the courses would be offered in a hybrid cohort format whereby participants would attend some class meetings, augmented by the use of online or other distance learning technology.
Courses taken as a non-degree student may not be applied to a degree until the applicant has satisfied the admissions requirements for that degree, including any required admissions test(s). Courses taken as a non-degree student will be evaluated by the Registrar and the program director or department chairperson. Policies regarding transfer courses will apply.
Tuition for graduate courses taken as a non-degree student is charged at the graduate tuition rate and not eligible for federal financial aid.
