Graduates with a degree in school administration often go on to become school principals, district administrators or supervisors, deans of students or faculty, university registrars or college provosts. School administrators are employed in every level of education from preschools to universities.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
