Educational Leadership Tier II Admission Requirements
The Tier II Doctor of Education program is designed to prepare education practitioners by engaging in the breadth and depth of theoretical and practical knowledge. The program seeks to assist school leaders seeking advanced education to continue in formal leadership and decision-making roles across P-12 contexts.
GPA Requirement: 3.0
Minimum Degree Requirement: Minimum of a Master’s degree from an accredited program and an accredited college or university. To be used to satisfy degree requirements, evaluation of foreign educational transcripts must show degree earned that is the U.S. equivalency of degree required by the program.
Official Transcripts – Required
Three Letters of Recommendation are required. One from a school administrator; identify recommenders on your application.
Certification/Teaching Experience: All applicants must possess a valid, Tier I entry level certificate or hold a Tier II certificate if that certificate is based on completion of an Educational Leadership program that led to a Georgia L or PL certificate. Applicants must also serve in a leadership position at either the P-12 school or LUA level (or agency or organization equivalent to LUA level) that will enable the candidate to fully meet the program’s clinical requirements. Applicants must submit documentation that they hold a school leadership role or position, as defined by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. For performance-based applicants, this must be verified by the appropriate designated school system representative (not the site principal).
