Program Overview
If you feel called to serve students and communities, Anderson University’s MEd in Administration and Supervision (MEdAS) helps you lead with confidence across PK–12 schools. Launching an enhanced pathway in Fall 2026, the program aligns with the latest South Carolina Department of Education requirements for PK–12 principal certification.
It’s designed to fit your life: 36 credits, completed in 18–24 months, fully online. Learn the essentials—strategic planning, school law and policy, supervision, and educational leadership—while applying them in real settings. You’ll complete embedded field experiences and two semester-long internships, one in an elementary school and one in a secondary school, so you understand the full PK–12 journey.
Graduates are prepared for roles like principal, assistant principal, or curriculum specialist and are recommended for PK–12 Administration and Supervision certification upon completion. Current administrators with elementary or secondary certification can take an accelerated, non-degree path with a single complementary internship.
Grow your impact now and keep progressing toward an Ed.S. or Ed.D.
