Baylor School of Education offers several programs for educators that will enable them to reach the next level professionally and to broaden their mission as a Christian in education:
The hybrid MA in School Leadership, offered primarily online with on-campus intensives, is a collaboration with the Baylor Center for Christian Education. Wherever you are being called to be a school leader, take your leadership to the next level. Grounded in Christ, this hybrid program’s flexibility will catalyze your leadership for human flourishing. We will form cohorts of Christian leaders with two tracks—Texas principal certification or school leadership in other states or independent schools. We are better together and united in our calling.
EdD in K-12 Educational Leadership
Building on Baylor's Christian mission, the Doctor of Education (EdD) in K-12 Educational Leadership is a cohort-based practitioner-oriented doctoral program for leaders of schools, educational systems, and agencies. Designed for the dedicated working education professional with weekend scheduling, the program prepares highly qualified practitioners to lead K-12 education institutions, while refining skills for executive positions in public, Christian, and private educational systems or agencies.
PhD in P-12 Educational Leadership
The P-12 Educational Leadership PhD is research-focused and educates scholars and scholar-practitioners who desire to have meaningful, lasting influence on P-12 education. Students entering the program can expect to be professionally challenged throughout the course sequence. The program is built on the idea that a great doctoral education stems from great mentorship. The program provides flexibility to build a course of study that will serve each student well.
