School of Education and Public Administration

The School of Education and Public Administration is committed to making graduate studies accessible to adult learners who seek to further their knowledge and skills with relevant learning opportunities for both professional and personal growth in the fields of Education and Public Administration. Across both disciplines, the School promotes leadership for today's global workplace, the integration of theory and practice, and maintenance of current professional standards. The School of Education and Public Administration fosters an intellectually stimulating examination of knowledge, reasoned inquiry on matters of public concern, and lifelong development of reflective practitioners in both its Master of Education Program and Master of Public Administration Program.

Upon completion of the Master of Education degree program, pre-K, K-12, post-secondary educators, adult training and development professionals, instructional technology professionals, and other educational practitioners will have enhanced abilities to create more effective learning environments and assume leadership or facilitator roles in academic institutions, educational agencies, nonprofit associations, their local communities, government, and the private sector.

Aligned with Strayer University’s core competencies and values promoting the advancement of professional competence, communication skills, critical thinking, analytical reasoning, information literacy, and ethical behavior, the M.Ed. Program focuses upon ten fundamental areas of emphasis: Theory, Design, Diversity, Technology, Communication, Professional Development, Analysis, Information Literacy, Leadership, and Ethics.

Through academic inquiry within four graduate level concentrations, students in the Master of Education program are positioned to attain an understanding of emerging technologies and their applications to digital-age learning experiences and assessments; current educational research, theories, trends, and issues; organizational structures and policies; and local, state, national, and global education initiatives.

The Master of Public Administration promotes a progressive and collegial learning environment, establishing a foundation for its graduates to contribute to the enrichment of local, state, national, and international communities. The program is offered for individuals who are entering the field and for career professionals desiring to develop greater expertise or advance their careers. The Master of Public Administration concentrates on developing the necessary capabilities to lead, manage, and direct government, non-profit, public, and non-governmental organizations.
