Below are the courses that the Department of Educational Administration plans to offer graduate students by semester from Summer 2026 through Fall 2027. The courses identified on this page are intended to honor individual programs of study and permit students to complete their degrees. Research and dissertation hours will also be available beyond Fall 2027.
Students should meet individually with their faculty advisor or transition coordinator at least once per semester to review and revise their individualized degree plans. As with any course schedule, adjustments may be needed if faculty expertise or student enrollment changes unexpectedly. Any changes to this course schedule will be published and communicated as quickly as possible to support students’ degree completion.
Please note that the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Department of Educational Leadership in the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences has graciously agreed to support these planned pathways for the P-12 School Leadership (MA) and P-20 (EdD) programs. They are offering both advisor support for doctoral advisees and providing classes where low enrollment is anticipated.
