Facilities for Graduate Work
The University and the College of Education provide outstanding computer laboratories, instructional resource centers, and libraries. Students are also encouraged to view the whole intellectual and cultural life of the University as a resource to be explored.
The Department of Educational Administration has close working relationships with public and private schools, colleges, and universities that provide clinical sites, field experiences, and research opportunities. Many educational associations and agencies in Austin provide important additional resources for students and faculty members.
Areas of Specialization
Students may choose from three specializations: community college leadership, higher education leadership, and public school executive leadership, including the educational policy and planning program, and state certificates in principalship and superintendency. Although each specialization involves unique coursework, a common core of knowledge is required of all students.

Admission Requirements
Admission decisions are based on multiple criteria, including the applicant’s academic and professional qualifications. Applicants must submit an official score on the Graduate Record Examinations General Test and must have a grade point average of at least 3.00 in upper-division and graduate coursework. In addition, the applicant must be accepted into one of the areas of specialization listed above. The faculty for the specialization may establish additional admission requirements, such as participation in an assessment center, personal interviews, or other evidence of the student’s preparation for graduate work. Information about these requirements is available from the department.
Students entering one of the doctoral programs should hold a master’s degree or the equivalent. The master’s degree need not be in education, but the applicant is expected to have knowledge of the history or philosophy of education and of human learning.
