MSED in Educational Leadership
The Baruch College Master of Science in Education (MSED) in educational leadership is designed for experienced teachers who wish to develop their abilities in educational leadership to prepare for supervisory positions in schools or school districts. The program offers a comprehensive understanding of educational administration in a metropolitan setting and equips students with management and analytical skills that can be applied to a wide range of educational settings. Students are exposed to several disciplines to achieve a blend of theory and practice offering a practical and systematic approach to educational administration and supervision.
This 33-credit degree program covers material essential to strong performance as a school administrator. It emphasizes instructional and community leadership, personnel management, and administration of the school unit. The program includes a semester-long internship in which students work in a school setting.
Completion of the program leads to New York State certification in School Building Leadership (SBL). (Students may also prepare for New York State certification with the 24-credit Advanced Certificate Program) Students seeking the MSED take three additional courses after completing those required for SBL certification.
