Graduates of this dual-degree program at Saint Louis University earn a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership and a Master of Business Administration (M.A./MBA). The program provides an awareness of the functional relationships between the educational system, business and administrative organizations. The increasing complexity of educational organizations and nonprofit institutions makes understanding business concepts important for students considering careers as administrators in educational institutions.
The M.A. in Educational Leadership can be combined with either the Professional MBA or the One-Year MBA to complete the dual degree. The full-time, One-Year MBA program includes a study abroad component in which students study foreign-based business cases, visit local businesses and attend guest lectures. The Professional MBA is also designed for working professionals and can be completed in 2-2.5 years on average while attending part time. Additionally, the class schedules for the educational leadership program accommodate busy working professionals. 
The Master of Arts in Educational Leadership degree is provided through an online delivery design. Students attend synchronous online course sessions delivered through Zoom. Students also complete coursework asynchronously through the Canvas learning management system.
Both programs benefit from a large alumni network in the St. Louis area and beyond. Graduates of these programs have successfully pursued leadership opportunities in schools and school systems, corporations, the nonprofit and social service sector, government and the entrepreneurial space.
Significant scholarship support for this dual-degree program is available thanks to the generosity of our donors. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
