Foundations of Education

Professional Educational Services Department

As an educator, you have valuable insight into the challenges that students and schools face. Build on those experiences as an administrator.

The Educational Specialist (EdS) in Educational Leadership prepares you for leadership roles in your school, district, or educational organization. In this program, you are trained to:

  • Promote the success and well-being of all students.
  • Apply your knowledge and skills to design, implement, and lead a district mission, vision, and process.
  • Foster continuous improvement at the district level that reflects such core values and priorities as data use, technology, values, equity, diversity, digital citizenship, and community.

The Master of Science (MS) in Education/Educational Leadership prepares individuals for leadership responsibilities in schools and school districts in the North Central Indiana and Southern Michigan region. The program provides candidates with supervision and guidance while completing corporation-driven practicum and clinical experiences.

The Educational Leadership program has been nationally recognized by the National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) and the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) until Fall 2027. NELP and ELCC are specialized professional associations that offers accreditation recognition for exemplary programs in educational leadership. As a mechanism for improving educational leadership programs at IU South Bend, the program faculty members have aligned their current course curricular requirements and performance-based assessment system with these rigorous professional standards. In this system, candidates in educational leadership will have to demonstrate mastery of the NELP and ELCC standards and an internship through assessment or evaluation artifacts that address the NELP standards.

Students may only transfer six credit hours of coursework at the graduate level.

The Department of Counseling and Human Services provides quality professional education for individuals seeking counseling careers in education, mental health services, business, and community and government agencies. The curriculum provides theoretical courses and supervised professional experiences. Students may choose from several tracks, including Clinical Mental Health Counseling, School Counseling, Addiction Counseling, and Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling.
