Capstone Project - 4 Credit Hours of Directed Field Experience

The capstone project in the Master of Science in School Leadership program consists of Directed Field Experience (DFE). The DFE is similar to a practicum and provides you with hands-on experience as you work alongside a practicing school administrator. During the MSSL program, you will also compile a portfolio and submit it to the faculty.
