The MEd in Religious Education with a concentration in Catholic School Leadership is a joint program offered by the IREPM and the Lynch School of Education. It is designed for those who have some background and experience in educational administration, but little formal background in Catholic theology or ministry, and who are or wish to become principals or presidents of Catholic Schools. With this degree and concentration, graduates will be well-equipped to provide mission-based leadership that fosters spiritual vitality for all members of the school community.
