An experimental cooperative graduate program for practicing educational administrators, offered by the University of Victoria, British Columbia, provides adult educators with opportunities for relating theory, practice, and research to resolve practical administrative problems. A candidate must be approved as an intern by an educational agency. The 14-month program consists of three components: academic, research, and internship. While completing courses on organizational theory, governance, personnel management, philosophy of administration and educational planning, associates are required to attend a series of professional seminars and professional luncheons. Associates become familiar with the sociopolitical culture of organizations and observe political interest groups interacting. To be awarded a masters degree, associates are required to defend their research reports in an oral examination. The professional training program is designed to develop adult educators who are knowledgeable of organizations, politically astute, skillful in interpersonal relations, and able to manage change.
