Area residents who are interested in pursuing a master of education degree in athletics/activities administration will be able to do so locally – and while continuing their regular jobs – through William Woods University in Fulton.

The degree is offered through William Woods’ Graduate and Adult Studies program, and is designed to help those involved with interscholastic activities to take on more administrative roles.

Designed specifically for working adults, the 36-hour degree program can be completed in less than two years, with each course meeting one night a week for six weeks.

William Woods will hold an orientation for the degree program at 5:30 p.m. June 27 in Room 6-A of Immaculate Conception Church, 3555 S. Fremont Ave. Prospective students will be accepted on a walk-in basis, but they are encouraged to contact the school ahead of time at (800) 995-3199.

The degree was unveiled by William Woods in 2004 and meets National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association standards toward becoming a registered athletic administrator or a certified athletic administrator. [[In-content Ad]]
