Upon completion students, U.S. and non-U.S. citizens, will be eligible to apply for a Certificate of Qualification (CQ). The Certificate of Qualification (CQ) is a graduation document and is available to all students (US Citizens and Non-US Citizens). The CQ was developed by TCNJ’s School of Education and it is produced and disbursed by TCNJ's Off-Site Graduate Programs (OGSP). It verifies successful completion of the required graduate coursework for a teacher, counselor, or educational leader preparation program. It is a credential widely recognized by International Schools and their accrediting agencies.

About HTH Graduate School of Education 
The High Tech High Graduate School of Education — the nation’s first graduate school rooted within K–12 schools — pushes the boundaries of what learning can look like by creating the context for transformative learning and action in schools and systems across the globe. As a hub for innovation, improvement, and justice, HTH GSE and HTH K12 are intentionally interconnected to elevate student brilliance, inspire work that matters, and measurably improve life outcomes for all learners.

Graduate Program Details
The Master’s in Educational Leadership program is designed to help educators strengthen the skills, mindsets, and tools to lead for justice and deeper learning. Our program believes in the connection of theory and practice, and it is perfect for those who are ready to commit to self-development within a dedicated learning community. Therefore, it is uniquely created for educators with at least three years of experience working with students, practitioners, or in the greater field of education. Likewise, about 40% of candidates enrolled in our program already hold a Master’s Degree or higher. Moreover, our commitment to theory and practice is reified through our practitioner faculty who serve as educational leaders outside of instructing our courses. All of our courses are designed and taught by education leaders from around the nation, and educators from our very own HTH K-12 schools.

The EdL Program provides candidates with three pathways for earning a master’s degree. The first is a full-time, 10-month residency program at one of the 16 K-12 High Tech High Schools. The second and third pathways are almost exclusively online, completed in either 10 or 20 months with a required one-week immersion course at our San Diego campus in August.
