What is the difference in earning a second master’s degree and taking the coursework as a certification only student?
In the state of Texasit is not necessary to hold a master of Educational Administration degree to practice as a school administrator; principals and superintendents need to hold a master degree (in any discipline) and the appropriate certification. Students entering the educational leadership program post-masters may choose to seek a second master degree or to pursue coursework as a certification only student. This decision, however, must be made no later than the end of the first semester of graduate work in the educational leadership program. The Graduate College of Texas State University-San Marcos is under no obligation to accept more than six hours of post-graduate work and apply it toward a master degree.
