Pedegogical Methods
Regular semester-long courses – lecture, group work, discussion, library research, etc. These courses are taught in a more-or-less traditional graduate seminar format in which students read and discuss both common and individual readings, pursue a research project under the direction of a professor/mentor, and provide regular progress-reports to the class as a whole for commentary and input.

Affording College
One of the unique features of our MA program is that, unlike the vast majority of MA programs in the United States, we offer merit-based scholarships and additional Soka grants up to the full cost of tuition. We believe that our accepted students, by virtue of their acceptance, are by definition meritorious. Subsequently, most students end up with full tuition scholarships.
The mission of Soka University of America’s Master of Arts in Educational Leadership and Societal Change program is to provide graduate-level students with the broad interdisciplinary knowledge, research skills, and practical experience for cutting-edge leadership in the all-inclusive world of education, locally, nationally, and internationally.
