Overview

The Master's Dimension program is available to those interested in completing the Principal's Qualification Program (PQP) Part 1 and Part 2 through OPC and plan to pursue a master's degree.

Candidates will be assigned an Academic Advisor to assess the Leadership Inquiry Practicum proposal and reports and help meet the academic standards required for graduate level studies.  Our Academic Advisors are senior educational leaders who hold a doctoral degree. 

By upgrading to Master's Dimension, our partner universities will confer advanced standing for the PQP and issue transfer credits towards your graduate completion requirements at their institution.
