• Certificate of Advanced Studies in Educational Leadership: School District Business Leadership (SDBL)
Recently approved by the New York State Education Department, this program is designed for educators who are preparing for positions as public school district business leaders (deputy superintendent of schools for business, associate superintendent of schools for business, assistant superintendent of schools for business, and any other person having professional responsibility for the business operation of the school district). The program offers two options. The first is a 38-credit program for applicants who have not completed an approved administrative certification program. The second, a 15-credit program, is for applicants who currently hold administrative certification as school district leader.
The Certificate of Advanced Studies qualifies students for the New York State School District Business Leader (SDBL) certification. The goal of the program is to prepare flexible, visionary and reflective leaders with the skills necessary to create and sustain financial and operational functions within a school district that will support and enhance the quality of learning for all students.
• M.S. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies – Concentration in Higher Education
The Foundations, Leadership, and Policy Studies Department offers this master’s program, providing students with an opportunity to develop a concentration in higher education.
The 36-credit master’s degree consists of three strands. The Administrative Strand includes 15 credits focused on Leadership in Higher Education Settings. The courses – “Introduction to Higher Education in the United States,” “Economics and Finance of Higher Education,” “Governance in Higher Education,” “The Student in American Higher Education,” and “Teaching and Learning in Higher Education” – will be offered over a five-semester period.
Dr. Holly Seirup, former Vice President for Campus Life at Hofstra University, will offer the first course in the sequence, “Introduction to Higher Education in the United States,” in Fall 2007.
Additionally, students will complete 15 credits in the Foundations and Policy Strand, selecting courses in the philosophical, historical and social foundations of education. The Teaching and Learning Strand includes a three-credit elective. Students complete the program with a three-credit Independent Study.
For more information on both of these programs call Dr. Eustace Thompson, assistant professor of foundations, leadership and policy studies, at (516) 463-5749 or e-mail edaegt@hofstra.edu.
