You are an accomplished educator and have made a difference in the lives of hundreds of children. Now you want to make a difference beyond the walls of your classroom. By enrolling in a Saint Rose graduate program in educational leadership, you will be empowered to make and implement policy in a school district or educational agency.

The Saint Rose Difference
The Saint Rose graduate programs in Educational Leadership and Administration prepare students for careers as educational administrators at either the school or district level. These programs combine theory and practice, culminating in a field experience that is both appropriate and meaningful to the individual’s personal and professional goals.

The master of science degree in educational leadership and administration and the master of science degree in school district business leadership are 36-credit programs that includes a research sequence as well as a six-credit internship. All students complete team research projects designed to help them assess the quality of school programs in their own or neighboring schools. Students investigate leadership, instructional practice, curriculum, staff development, data mining, and technology as they determine whether there is evidence of planning, action, and evaluation in those areas.

Applicants who have already earned a master's degree in Education but desire certification in Educational Leadership and Administration may choose to pursue an advanced certificate in School Building Leadership and/or School District Leadership.

Applicants who have already earned a master's degree in Education or in business related fields may choose to pursue an advanced certificate in School District Business Administration.
