Educational leadership training at the State University of New York at Fredonia has been redesigned to create a single direct path for educators already working in K-12 school districts to attain advanced certifications that lead to becoming a school building and school district leader. The new program – taught completely online – consolidates Fredonia’s former Certificates of Advanced Study in School Building Leadership and School District Leadership programs. You can engage in your course work around your work schedule, making it much more convenient for working professionals. You don't have to travel; you'll have direct access to instructors through emails and video conferencing.
