The George Washington University's graduate degrees in Educational Leadership and Administration prepare practitioners in teaching or teaching-related careers for leadership roles as principals, mid-level administrators, and instructional supervisors in the nation's K-12 educational systems.

The Post-Master's Certificate was created for individuals who have teaching credentials, currently hold a master's degree from an accredited institution, and are seeking licensure in educational administration. The program provides educational personnel at the elementary and secondary levels added expertise in the field of administration. This program can also provide educators with an opportunity to meet multi-state academic licensing requirements for principal, assistant principal, and/or instructional supervisory personnel.

The Post-Master's Certificate was designed to train students to become educational administrators and leaders, and to meet educational administration licensure requirements in most states. The curricula was developed to ensure that candidates have a knowledge and understanding of student growth and development; systems and organizations; theories, models, and principles of organizational development; conditions and dynamics of diverse school communities; the purpose of education and its role in a modern society; and the principles of representative governance that supports the system of American schools.
