M.S.Ed. Degree School Building Leader

EmbarkSt. John’s University has offered a high 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. We have designed the master’s in Administration to comply with New York 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 degree includes a subject-matter concentration that can qualify teachers for both permanent teaching certification as well as building-level administrative certification. If a teacher already has permanent certification they may specialize in an additional area such as Gifted & Talented Education, Special Education, TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), Instructional Technology, or Curriculum Studies. 

St. John’s is also committed to being a leader in technology. We offer one of the first completely online degrees for a School Building Leader Master’s and a District-Leader Advanced Certificate, recognized by New York State.
