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.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
