Students may elect a 15-month Try on Leadership program that prepares students for Assistant Building Administrator (045) certification applied through the Maine Department of Education. Students typically meet one afternoon per week online using a synchronous platform that allow aspiring administrators to apply coursework in action. Students who successfully complete the Try on Leadership Certificate Program can apply for the M.Ed. program. If accepted, students can apply for the Try on Leadership coursework as credit toward the M.Ed. in Educational Leadership.
