The availability and characteristics of graduate programs in educational administration offered by universities in African and Caribbean countries belonging to the Commonwealth are summarized in this paper. The programs reviewed are offered by universities in the West Indies, Guyana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, and Nigeria. The paper notes that most of the programs are of very recent origin and are still undergoing significant changes in their organization and requirements. The paper outlines the history of the programs in general, citing specific programs as examples rather than discussing each individually. The characteristics typically found in the programs are reviewed, including size, admission requirements, degrees granted, degree requirements, and course content. The paper also comments both on the need for such graduate programs given the state of development of the economies in the countries concerned, and on the potential value of student exchanges among Third World universities offering the programs. Appendixes describe the courses of study in two specific programs: that leading to a Master of Education in Administration and Planning at Bayero University in Nigeria, and that leading to a Certificate in Educational Management and Administration at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill.
