Admissions Requirements

We prepare teachers and administrators to be effective leaders in today’s schools.

Academic Requirements

All applicants to the MS program in School Leadership must have:

• Completion of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited academic institution (official transcript must be submitted).
• A minimum undergraduate and graduate grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4-point scale).
• Provisional or Permanent NYS Certification in Education.
• Three years of satisfactory teaching experience.
• NY State no longer requires applicants who enroll in our graduate-level teacher education and leadership programs to pass the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or other nationally normed equivalent admission tests. However, standardized test scores for GRE/MAT and CST Multisubject State Certification exam, may be submitted for a holistic review of your application.  Applicants who present MAT scores will be asked to complete a writing sample administered by Touro. Touro's GRE test code is 2902 and MAT test code is 3346.

Non-native English speakers will have to present evidence of English fluency. This may include a score of at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language and at least one letter from a supervisor in a relevant educational setting. This letter should certify the candidate's competence in English.
