Field-Based Principals Certification Program at Washington State University Tri-Cities

This innovative, streamlined program offers you the best possible training for the principalship AND a network of colleagues and mentors who will help you get that first job! This program was designed by an Advisory Committee of working administrators and is team taught by highly successful administrators and WSU faculty. Thus, we offer the best of both worlds—current, practical knowledge and skills along with high quality academic courses. Participants are eligible for state funds to support their internships.

Unique features include:
A cohort model that allows you to develop a close, professional network
A two-year internship that gives you a solid background in essential skills
A faculty with extensive professional experience
A cumulative portfolio to present at interviews

This is a two-year program that is closely aligned with the Master’s in Education (Ed.M.) so both can be completed within the two years. Credits earned in the certification program can be used on the master’s or doctoral degrees. The centerpiece of the Field-Based program is a two-year internship with a successful school principal, in combination with a series of bi-weekly seminars. Participants enroll in three hours of internship credit each semester (EdAd 590) and a three hour seminar in educational administration. Two additional required courses are offered each summer (EdAd 585—Finance; EdAd 588—Law and Education).
