School Administration Specialization

Warner's school administration programs emphasize preparing practitioners who will bring reflective and analytical approaches, along with vision, to creatively solving problems, making decisions, and strategically formulating policy.

Warner offers students numerous options in the study of administration, ranging from a non-degree program leading to New York State certifications for K-12 school administrators to doctoral programs that combine advanced coursework and research in administration. Extensive coursework in areas such as leadership, decision-making, and management is common to all programs.

We also offer special programs for students interested in administrative positions in private schools, including a Catholic School Administration Specialization.
