CAlAPA: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing has implemented the California Administrative Performance Assessment (CalAPA) requirement to obtain a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (PASC). Concordia University Irvine has responded to this condition by embedding the required assessment content into the PASC program. The PASC program offers three leadership courses that prepares candidates for the three CalAPA cycles. Students are well equipped to pass the CalAPA as they complete the cycles throughout their program.

ACSA: Concordia University Irvine (CUI) is honored to be recognized as the only university in the state of California to have an exclusive partnership with the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA). Each new student enrolled in the Educational Administration program is automatically enrolled in the CUI ACSA Student Chapter, unless otherwise voiced. CUI graciously pays the membership fee to ensure every Educational Administration candidate has the unparalleled benefits of being an ACSA member. ACSA is the leading professional organization in the state which provides unique opportunities for student members; including an invitation to attend local and regional ACSA network events, professional conferences, professional development, as well as subscriptions to the EdCal weekly newsletter, and Leadership magazine. The most unique opportunity for Educational Administration students is the ability to network with regional superintendents, district administrators, and local school principals on a regular basis.
