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.
