Educational Leadership

Manhattanville College provides authentic leadership experiences aligned with relevant research in the area of educational administration. Students in the program exit with a wealth of knowledge designed to assist them in current and future leadership roles.

The Educational Leadership curricula reflect current research about 21st-century leadership preparation. Courses mirror New York State leadership testing requirements as well as ELCC standards. Our programs prepare future educational leaders who will act as change agents as they address the challenges confronting schools today. Students become ethically and socially responsible school leaders knowledgeable in the management and instructional leadership aspects of schools. 

The Educational Leadership programs are approved by New York State and CAEP. They are aligned with the revised New York State leadership standards (ISLLC) and the national standards established by the Educational Leadership Constituency Council (ELCC).

This program prepares educational leaders who will be equipped to engage in the complex task of leading 21st-century schools.
