The statistical population of this study consist of 200 PhD and Master Students of the Islamic Azad University of Tehran which were selected by random sampling according to Morgan table. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire in which expert’s opinions were used to formalize the questionnaire. And the reliability of the questionnaires was also assessed by using Cronbach’s alpha test. Data analysis were accomplished by the inferential statistics such as t-test, Spss, PLS and quantitative approach. The research method is survey. Based on the theoretical foundations, students' abilities were examined with a combination of four approaches (communication, cognitive, structural, motivational) and combination of two models (Spritz and Kettel, Horn, Kroll), two-dimensional managerial and educational with 12 components. The results of the study indicate that the graduated students of the Islamic Azad University are in the lower level in Managerial and Educational Capabilities.
