Program Details
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, in an effort to meet the leadership needs of the school districts of Wisconsin, provides a fully online, two-year accelerated sequence of courses leading to a UWM master's degree in Educational Leadership and/or DPI licensure as a school administrator. The courses are designed to meet the needs of those currently serving their schools as Wisconsin DPI licensed teachers.
