Graduate Programs The College’s Master’s degree in Higher Education Leadership and Administration is a 10-course, 30-credit graduate degree program expressly designed to enhance the knowledge as well as the administrative skills of aspiring college leaders. Courses will cover a wide array of subjects including higher education law, strategic planning, budgeting, risk management, resource stewardship, community relations, enrollment management and effective management styles for successful leaders.

Taught in small-group seminars to encourage discussion, the degree is designed for those working full- or part-time with courses offered in the evenings and on Saturdays in traditional and hybrid format. As part of the capstone course in the program, students will produce applied research papers that are intended to be publishable and adaptable in future leadership settings.

Students who wish to gain specialized knowledge in certain aspects of higher education leadership and administration may choose to pursue a stand-alone advanced certificate. The Certificate of Advanced Study in Organizational Leadership (15 credits) combines courses in the MBA and educational leadership programs and the Certificate of Advanced Study in Quality Control for Higher Education (15 credits) focuses on developing skills in research, assessment, accreditation and program evaluation.

These certificate options provide focused learning and professional development opportunities to early- and mid-career faculty and ad-

The Sullivan Institute for Higher Education Leadership The Sullivan Institute for Higher Education Leadership, housed in the Thelma P. Lally School of Education, was established in 2012 by the Saint Rose Board of Trustees in honor of the College's former president, Dr. R. Mark Sullivan.

An ancillary mission of the Institute will be to host lectures and national conferences featuring prominent leaders in American and international higher education, attract guest scholars to teach and undertake research, publish papers and write reports on issues related to higher education leadership and management.

face a wave of retirements at the same time the sector will be under pressure for new leaders and new ideas. For those seeking the necessary credentials, skills, and knowledge to move up in higher education, this master’s degree in Higher Education

Leadership and Administration is exactly what’s

needed to lead institutions in the 21st Century. The

top-notch faculty are experienced higher-education leaders who have both the on-the-ground experi-

ence and the vision to explain where higher education has been and where it’s going in the future, as well as provide you with the advice you need to manage your career.
