Master of Science in Education: Educational Administration
The Experiential Program for Preparing School Principals (EPPSP)
is an innovative and experience-based master's program that
prepares its graduates for the many challenges facing school
administrators. It provides hands-on opportunities for students to
demonstrate proficiency and to practice leadership skills in their
schools. The EPPSP program is nationally recognized by
NCATE.
EPPSP students complete a two-year, 36-hour intensive Master of
Science degree program. Students must stay active in the
program each consecutive semester and summer until
completion. Students can earn six credit hours in each of the
classes. Classes meet every Tuesday and Thursday evening from
7-9:30 p.m.
"I chose Butler University's
EPPSP program because of the strong alumni base and its rich
history of going above and beyond to produce the best of the
best! EPPSP has helped me
develop into a better leader because of its research-based
approach and the many diverse
opportunities we experience"

History: With the assistance of a Lilly
Endowment grant, Dr. Joe Nygaard introduced EPPSP in 1982 as a new
and radically different program for preparing school
administrators. In 1998, the program became an M.S. in
education degree. EPPSP is a leading principal preparation
program with graduates throughout Indiana and the United
States.
