NCELP provided an experience, networking, and personal growth I am still benefiting from today. It was great to be a part of an institution where I felt and still believe the professors, faculty, and staff were as vested in me as a person, professional, and student as I was in pursuing and attaining my goals.

Drew Intermediate School
In terms of quality, each course taken is grounded in classical as well as contemporary leadership theory. In terms of flexibility, NCELP’s sequence of face to face and online coursework allowed me to maintain full-time employment at my school district while pursuing graduate studies. Furthermore, the program’s cohort model gave me an opportunity to build lasting friendships and networking outlets across the state of Texas.

The path of NCELP is well-aligned and supported with great professors, staff, and classmates throughout the journey. The coursework is valuable and valid, giving you great tools for the profession. Now that I am in administration, I find myself feeling prepared and confident at the tasks that are presented to me.

After having researched a lot of the programs out there today, I selected the NCELP because I knew the rigor would really prepare me to make a difference in any school I worked in. You may be able to do it easier or cheaper, but the Tarleton program is the best overall education option available for people who are serious and want a quality education.
