This 39-semester-hour program is intended to prepare persons to serve as school business managers. Students, under the direction of an advisor, will plan a program of studies which will include course work, internship, and field experiences directly related to the school business management function in elementary and secondary, or college educational systems. It is not necessary to have an educator license to apply for this program. Program flexibility permits elective courses which may be applied toward meeting minimal educational requirements for the general administrative endorsement.
Check departmental information for additional requirements. For application links and additional information visit the college page or the NIU Online page.
Students who seek the M.S.Ed. with a major in school business management are required to complete the core courses.
Each student is also required to complete a full-year internship experience. Students seeking an internship must make application and receive approval of the internship plan. A full-year internship is defined as having an internship plan which is approved by the program advisor and being registered for 2 semester hours of LEBM 586 for each of three consecutive terms.
