Trinity Western University's MA in Educational Leadership (MAEL) program is designed to equip professionals with the advanced skills needed to navigate the complexities of the modern education sector. This program focuses on a leadership model that prioritizes people and teamwork, enabling graduates to make a significant impact on learners and fellow educators. The MAEL is recognized by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education and the TQS for salary upgrades, though completion does not confer a BC teaching certificate. The program offers a dynamic format anchored in servant leadership principles. It can be completed in 17 months of full-time study or 2.5 years part-time, with options for a mixed-model delivery or fully online study. In addition to the MA, TWU also offers a Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership.
