Mission: The mission of the University of Houston-Victoria’s Educational Administration programs is top develop leaders who advance in ethics, excellence, and the highest educational standards in our society’s schools.

M.Ed. participants must pass a comprehensive examination on the content of the courses in their area of emphasis. Students are eligible to take the comprehensive exam upon completion of 21-24 graduate credit hours depending on the program. Students who fail the exam may re-take it within the same semester in which it was first attempted. A subsequent failure will result in required remedial work and may delay graduation. After three failures, students will be withdrawn from the program and, therefore, be deemed ineligible for graduation.
