What Teachers Are Saying
"CSP Global offered a program that fit well with my schedule. I was looking for a masters degree program that would offer flexibility with my time. I wanted to ensure a class structure that would fit with my schedule, but I also wanted face-to-face interactions with instructors and other students."
"The topics covered in the Educational Leadership program and ample opportunities for deep conversation and leadership practice within each course was ideal. I have already seen a positive return on my investment just a few years after graduation."
CSP Global's focus on responsive and equitable leadership in our schools was critical in my decision to pursue my doctorate degree and complete my graduate work them. As a cohort, we were able to be a part of the first group to complete this program, and the amount of professional guidance in our learning matched what we had received throughout both our master’s and specialist programs."
"I have found all of my experiences with CSP Global to be positive. The online classes allowed me great flexibility, the academic advisors and instructors were all extremely helpful, and the materials covered were pertinent to being a successful educator."
