This report measures the level of interest of undergraduates at 4-year college in the United States in coursework and careers in educational administration at all levels, with data broken out separately for higher education and K-12 education. The report also presents data on the overall level of interest in general undergraduate and graduate study in education, allowing the study’s end users to specify interest in administration in the general population of students, and in the population of students with an interest in any aspect of teaching or education.

A detailed description of the sample breakdown by these criteria is also available in the study.
