St. John’s University has offered a quality degree program in
School Administration for the last 75 years. St. John’s has always
been committed to excellence, as well as to keeping our programs
relevant to the needs of the students. Now, New York State has
changed the requirements for building-level and district-level
certification. We have redesigned the master’s in Administration to
comply with these new state regulations, keeping in mind the
technological, cultural, political, social and economic changes
that our students face in their school communities.
Permanent Teaching Certification in an
Administrator’s Degree
The redesigned degree includes a subject-matter concentration that
can qualify teachers for both permanent teaching certification as
well as building-level certification. If a teacher already has
permanent certification, the program is designed so that there is a
concentration on administration and the ability to transfer 15 of
these credits towards a doctoral program. The flexibility of this
program allows teachers to fulfill their specific needs: whether it
is to satisfy the requirements for their permanent certification or
to take courses that address the needs of their school
district.
Extensive Electives for Those with
Permanent Certification
School teachers who have their permanent certification and who seek
to advance their careers to the next level of school principal will
benefit immensely from the School Building Leader Master’s in
Educational Administration degree program.
St. John’s is also committed to being a leader in technology. We
now offer one of the first completely online degrees for a Building
Leader Master’s and a District-Leader
Professional Diploma, recognized by New York State for
certification.
