Program Overview

Binghamton University's Certificate of Advanced Studies in Educational Administration program is offered in a synchronous remote format. This program is for experienced pre-K through grade 12 educators interested in:

• Completing the requirements for two New York state certificates - School Building Leader (SBL-Initial) and/or School District Leader (SDL-Professional)
• Engaging with a rigorous curriculum at a University recognized nationally for its strong academic programs, distinguished faculty, and affordable tuition
• Extending their graduate studies to an EdD in the future
• Expanding their impact beyond their own classroom or specialty area.

Program Structure

The Certificate of Advanced Studies in Educational Administration program is a part-time program designed for the full-time working educator. Students complete nine classes in the evenings, either quickly (two classes each fall, spring, and summer semester) or more leisurely with one class at a time. Classes are offered by university faculty and area education professionals. The internship, arranged in students' home districts, typically takes an additional two semesters and requires enrollment in two classes.

Synchronous Remote Educational Leadership Track

The Synchronous Remote Educational Leadership track at Binghamton University allows students to be fully engaged in all classes through a synchronous remote format. Students in this particular track are expected to attend courses through Zoom at a designated time and day. All courses in the Educational Leadership program (10) will be offered synchronously via Zoom to ensure all students are able to complete this program in a timely manner.

Program Requirements

This is a 30-credit-hour program of study beyond a completed master's degree of at least 30 credit-hours in a teaching or closely related field. The 30 credit-hours consist of ten required courses, one of which is an internship and two which are project-based. Students are required to pass the School Building Leader (SBL-Initial) and/or School District Leader (SDL-Professional) assessment, and to develop a personal plan for self-improvement and continuous learning, consistent with current Educational Leader standards. The personal plan is updated and refined at three defined checkpoints during the program of study.

Admission Criteria

No graduate record exam (GRE) is required for this certificate program.

Internship

In addition to field-based projects and other leadership experiences, students complete a capstone internship. Positioned near the end of the student's formal academic preparation, the internship provides an opportunity for immersion in the authentic work world of educational leaders. Under the guidance of a University instructor and a field-based supervisor-mentor, students apply and extend the knowledge and skills developed throughout their course of study.
