In
response to newly enacted New York State Education Department
requirements, the School District Leader Professional Diploma in
Educational Administration is an accredited degree program
created exclusively to prepare school principals to assume roles in
the district office.
Graduates of this innovative program will earn the New York
State Certification to become a School District Leader in central
administration offices. All courses are designed to train
professional educators to assume various administrative,
supervisory and leadership roles in schools and other educational
organizations. 30 of these credits may be transferred towards the
doctoral program.
Program Elements
Courses are taught by faculty members who are both
experienced scholars and practitioners. This dynamic combination
provides students with a balance of sound theory and practical
application. Faculty advisors are arranged for each student.
The department’s faculty, administration and staff are available to
assist students.
As an academic leader in technology, St. John’s University
offers this program both on campus as well as through our Distance
Learning option. You have ample flexibility to attend courses
weeknights or work at your own pace through our online courses.
