Argosy University developed its Master of Arts in Education (MAEd) in Educational Leadership Program to transition students from the role of a classroom leader to that of an administrative leader in complex educational institutions. The curriculum challenges students to develop their core skills in the areas of practical and academic analysis, oral and written communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, team-building, and technology. The program is a practitioner-oriented program of study scheduled to permit students to balance the demands of career, family, and school.
