Action Requested:

The Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee recommends University Senate approval of
a proposal submitted by the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College - Division of Educational
Leadership & Innovation - for the name change of a graduate degree - from: Educational
Administration and Supervision (MEd) to: Educational Leadership (MEd)

Rationale: 
 
The name change to Educational Leadership more aptly describes the comprehensive scope of the program of study which is to develop principal, teacher and superintendent leaders in the educational environment.  Furthermore, the name aligns with the name of the Department and is more universally recognizable for marketing and recruiting purposes.
