• Theoretical foundations (historical and evolutionary considerations, theories of student development, theories of organizational development, etc.),
• Parameters of professional practice (ethical, legal and political issues, diversity and multiculturalism, social and moral responsibilities, etc.), and
• Strategies for enhancing administrative effectiveness (leadership training, staff recruitment, training, and evaluation, budgeting and planning, program development, implementation, and assessment, etc.).
