Ed.D. Programs in New York

Earning a Doctor of Education Degree in New York

What Kind of New York Ed.D. Programs Are Available?

New York’s Ed.D. landscape is dominated by private universities. NYU, Columbia, Fordham, Hofstra, the University of Rochester—you’re going to see a lot of their offerings in our listings. But you’ll also find Hunter College at CUNY and SUNY Binghamton, as well as online doctorates of education that are well-worth considering. Even Yeshiva has gotten in on the doctoral game, with a unique offering in Jewish education. Some schools are nationally ranked and a number are members of the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED). You won’t be lacking for quality choices!

How Do I Choose a New York Doctorate in Education?

Case Study #1: K-12 Administrator Exploring Career Advancement in NYC

Let’s say you’re a hard-working administrator in a New York City secondary school. You’re considering a move to a school leadership position—or even the private sector—but you’d like some guidance on career paths and educational choices.

1. Browse through our listings and most affordable NY rankings to get a handle on what Ed.D. programs are available in your local area or online.
2. Explore our section on career resources to learn more about opportunities for Ed.D. graduates. We’ve provided links to New York-specific job boards and NYC wage data. You’ll learn what educational qualifications are preferred. And you’ll never go into salary negotiations unprepared.
3. Become a member of NY educational leadership organizations and attend NYC meetings & events. Organizations like NYSAWA also sponsor training opportunities such as the Educational Leadership Institute.
4. Ask if these organizations have ways to connect members. For example, anyone looking for a seasoned career guide can apply for SAANYS Mentoring.
5. Investigate our funding section to see if you qualify for Ed.D. scholarships & awards that match your situation.

Case Study #2: Aspiring New York Superintendent Seeking SDL Certification & Ed.D.

Let’s say you’ve set your sights on superintendency, but you don’t yet have your SDL. Is there a way to save money & time by combining your certification training with doctoral studies? Absolutely. And in a variety of ways! Here are a few tricks of the trade:

• Credit Transfers: Before enrolling in any SDL certification program (usually an advanced certificate), talk to the program coordinator about your goals and find out whether the School of Education also offers a doctorate. A solid portion of your certificate credits could be transferable to an Ed.D.
• Concurrent Programs: Many New York schools will allow you to enroll in a certification program and an Ed.D. concurrently—this reduces the number of credits you need to earn for both. Examples include Manhattanville’s Bridge Program, Molloy’s Post-Master’s Advanced Certificate in School District Leader (SDL), and Fordham’s School District Leader Certificate (SDL).
• Certification Scholarships: Think about how you can save on certification before you move on to an Ed.D. For instance, students in Syracuse’s Online CAS in Educational Leadership are eligible for a sizeable Future Leaders Scholarship and other School of Education awards.
• Ed.D. Discounts: Before you enroll in an SDL program, ask if the School of Education has special partnership deals on the doctorate. For example, the University of Rochester offers a scholarship on its Ed.D. in Educational Leadership to Warner SBL/SDL certification holders, as well as individuals who earn their SBL/SDL at SUNY Oswego or SUNY Brockport.

Case Study #3: Mid-Level Higher Education Administrator Eyeing Top Positions

Let’s say you’re a higher education administrator in New York with 7+ years of experience at colleges and universities. You’re on the hunt for an executive-style Ed.D. that will lead to high-flying opportunities (e.g. university president).

1. Use the curriculum & admissions links in our listings to identify programs with a higher education focus. Bear in mind that some of these educational leadership doctorates may be too basic for your career needs.
2. Pay close attention to NYU and the University of Rochester. They have developed innovative online doctorates and thoughtful on-campus Ed.D. programs in higher education fields. NYU has even rethought the dissertation requirement.
3. Expand your search to online executive Ed.D. programs in other states—schools like Boston College are some of the best in the nation. You should be able to fit any overseas trips and campus intensives into your current schedule.

Top 5 Most Affordable Ed.D. Programs in New York 2025

We went through our program directory with a fine-tooth comb to identify the top 5 cheapest Ed.D. in Educational Leadership programs in New York State. The result is an intriguing mix of public options (e.g. SUNY and CUNY), public research players (e.g. University at Buffalo), and smaller private universities in regional centers. Here are some tips to help you make a decision:

• New York is Expensive: Like California, New York is not a cheap state for doctoral education. With the rare exceptions of the 5 schools in our rankings, prices are tough. A number of private universities are charging in excess of $90,000 for an Ed.D. If you really want the prestige factor of having a name like Columbia or NYU on your résumé, investigate every funding avenue you can before applying. There will be a fair number of university scholarships available.
• Mandatory Fees Aren’t Always Obvious: A lot of New York schools—both public and private—love to tack on additional per semester fees to the base tuition price. These can take the form of technology fees, registration fees, student activity fees, consolidated services fees—the list goes on. In the case of public schools, these fees are usually folded into the tuition charts. But you may need to read the fine print on the tuition page to find the fees for private schools.
• Any Cost Quote Will Be An Estimate: For these rankings, we used the latest numbers available. However, it’s almost a given that universities will raise their prices for tuition & mandatory fees each year. You’ll also need to budget for one-off costs like application & dissertation fees. So take the Minimum Program Cost as a starting point for your own research. You may be able to reduce the price with credit transfers.
• New York Ed.D. Programs Vary in Length: Some doctoral programs at New York universities can be finished in 2-3 years; others will be structured on a longer, part-time calendar (e.g. 4-4.5 years). Choose a doctorate with an extended schedule and you could be on the hook for mandatory per semester fees and regular price hikes each year. Or you may end up paying a “per credit” rate instead of a “per semester” rate. Be sure to ask the Ed.D. program coordinator for a sample budget.
• Read the Admissions Requirements Carefully: Even if it’s cheap, you may not be eligible to apply for an Ed.D. For example, affordable schools like SUNY Binghamton or Hunter will expect you to have at least 3-5 years of professional work experience. On the flip side, you may be able to reduce the price of expensive schools if you have previous qualifications—Syracuse will knock 27 credits off its degree if you already hold a Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS). We’ve provided links to requirements to save you time!

Note: For these rankings, we’re quoting in-state tuition rates for New York residents. If you live outside of New York, prices for doctorates at public universities will almost always be higher. Check the tuition links for more info.

What to Know About New York Online Ed.D. Programs

New York has been slower than some big states to commit to online learning for the Ed.D. But we have seen a gradual increase in offerings since the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily from private colleges & universities. Look for the “Offered Online” marker in our listings to create your shortlist.

• Cost: New York is a challenging state for doctoral study. NYU’s executive-style online doctorate is above $2,000 per credit and many other private programs are well above $1,000 per credit. The most affordable options will come from public providers (e.g. University at Buffalo). If money is very tight, explore programs in our most affordable NY rankings and Cheapest Online Ed.D. national rankings.
• Quality: There’s a reason for the pricey nature of distance learning— New York also has some of the best online Ed.D. programs in the country. NYU is frequently #1 in our Best Online Ed.D. rankings and Fordham is often not that far behind. If you qualify for one of these offerings, talk to your employer and the Ed.D. program coordinator about your situation. They may know of ways to offset costs.

Online Ed.D. Programs at Private Research Universities in New York

Anyone working in New York K-12 schools & districts and looking to move up the career ladder should investigate the following two online doctorates. Neither of them are inexpensive, but they’re backed by Schools of Education with instant name recognition and innovative research partnerships with local schools.

• Fordham’s Online Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, Administration and Policy is a 3-year program from a Jesuit research university. It’s a particularly strong pick if you’re interested in serving students in marginalized, urban, or underserved communities. Because of Fordham’s involvement in the CPED initiative, the program emphasizes improvement science and core practice areas. Learning is reinforced with two on-campus immersions.
• University of Rochester’s Online Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, offered by the Warner School of Education, is built on flexibility. It can be finished in 3 years with an accelerated format or drawn out longer. It’s offered in online, in-person, and hybrid formats. And it allows you to tack on advanced certificates in a range of relevant topics (e.g. Urban Teaching & Leadership).

In contrast, NYU Steinhardt’s cohort-based Online Ed.D. in Leadership and Innovation is an executive-style doctorate for mid-level professionals. It only takes 2 years to complete and candidates must have 7-10 years of experience to apply. As we mentioned, this is one of the best online doctorates in the country. So you can expect a great deal of high-level networking. Better yet, it can be applied to almost any setting—K-12, higher education, organizational leadership, and more.

Or you could consider LIU Post’s Online Ed.D. in Transformational Leadership, which can be adapted to suit almost any leadership goal. Applicants are expected to have a minimum of 3 years of successful teaching, leadership or equivalent experience in educational practice.

Online Ed.D. Programs at Public Research Universities in New York

Interested in exploring ideas around equity, curriculum development, and transformative leadership? University at Buffalo’s rigorous—and relatively affordable—Online Ed.D. in Learning and Teaching in Social Contexts comes to you from the Department of Learning and Instruction. UB is a CPED member, so you can expect an emphasis on action research, practicums, and problems of practice. It’s open to almost any candidate from PreK-20 and educational spheres.

Hybrid & Online Ed.D. Programs at Private Colleges in New York

Aspiring educational leaders in PreK-20 settings also have the option to explore online doctorates from smaller private colleges. Because of their size, these offerings may have more of an intimate feel.

• Molloy University’s Ed.D. in Educational Leadership for Diverse Learning Communities is available in a hybrid format with Saturday meetings or an online version with synchronous & asynchronous learning experiences—both formats include 5 hours of fieldwork/internship. Molloy is an Experienced CPED member and a Catholic school, so the curriculum features courses on equity & ethics and a Dissertation in Practice (DiP).
• You can customize Manhattanville University’s Ed.D. in Educational Leadership by choosing a 100% online pathway in Higher Education or Dissertation Completion; the Higher Education option will include synchronous/real-time online coursework. Or you can opt for the hybrid Signature pathway with in-person meetings in Yorktown Heights, NY.

No Dissertation Ed.D. Programs in New York

Doctoral Research Projects & Capstones

NYU is leading the way in ditching the dissertation. For the on-campus Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration, you’ll be required to complete a culminating prospectus and project. This research-based work is designed to improve your professional practice through an intervention in the workplace. You’ll emerge with a Project Report and a Portfolio that includes project dissemination papers (e.g. journal article, book chapter, policy brief, curriculum design, etc.).

The Online Ed.D. in Leadership and Innovation takes a similar approach. Instead of tackling a large written project, you’ll address a Problem of Practice (POP) that you’re facing at work (e.g. re-imagining a district special education program; reinventing a career training program for college students; improving racially disproportionate access to programs; etc.). You’ll complete three capstone seminars and four signature assignments to prepare for your culminating project. After original research and some real-world application, you’ll emerge with a praxis-based POP and a portfolio of work.

Doctoral Education Funding in New York

Columbia University in the City of New York

Begin with the section on Aid at Teachers College. Since institutional aid is primarily limited to master’s and Ph.D. students, we also recommend you talk to your department about financial support.

In addition, Syracuse notes that applicants who are currently working in educational leadership positions can often get district reimbursement for the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.

University at Buffalo

If you’re eyeing the Ed.D. in Learning and Teaching in Social Contexts, visit the sections on Financial Aid and Funding from the Department of Learning and Instruction.

University of Rochester

The Warner School of Education offers scholarships & fellowships, but many of them are limited to master’s degree or certificate students. However, it has developed agreements for matching tuition waivers with a select number of local employers, a residential fellowship for higher education Ed.D. students, and SDL & SBL discounts! Warner SBL/SDL certification holders, as well as Ed.D. students who have earned their SBL/SDL at SUNY Oswego or SUNY Brockport, are eligible for a 35% scholarship.

Yeshiva University

All students admitted to the Executive Ed.D. are eligible for generous support through the Azrieli Graduate School. Scholarship decisions are based on need and aid can equal as much as 50% of tuition. More info is available on the program website. Yeshiva also offers a monthly payment plan.

Note: If a university name is missing from the list, we didn’t find specific examples of Ed.D. funding beyond private & federal loans and external aid.

School Leader Certification Requirements in New York

School Administrator Certifications

Types of Administrator Certifications

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) is responsible for issuing school administrator certifications at the PreK-12 level. There are two major administrative options:

• School Building Leader (SBL): Aimed at Principals. There are three types of SBL Certificate: Internship, Initial, and Professional.
• School District Leader (SDL): Aimed at Superintendents. There are three types of SDL Certificate: Internship, Professional, and Transitional D.

However, if you’re interested in financing & budgeting roles, you should take a look at the School District Business Leader (SDBL). All of these certificates are offered in a variety of types. Professional certification is the standard qualification.

Ed.D. Programs & School Administrator Certification

To earn any of these certificates, you will need to complete a state-approved preparation program that focuses on certification coursework. This is often a master’s program, certificate of advanced study, or the like.

• NYSED maintains an Inventory of Registered Programs. Search for programs leading to Teacher Certification; then select the category (e.g. SCH DISTRICT LDR).
• A number of New York universities in our listings will allow you apply credits from their SBL or SDL certificate program to their Ed.D. program. Ask the Ed.D. program coordinator if you can kill two birds with one stone!

Note: Coming from another state? NYSED’s Search Certification Requirements tool lists alternative pathways if you want to endorse an existing leadership certificate or you’ve completed an educational leadership program outside of New York.

School Building Leader (SBL)

Initial SBL Certificate

The Initial SBL Certificate is valid for five years. This leads to the Professional SBL Certificate. To apply for an Initial Certificate, you must:

• Hold a master’s degree from an institution of higher education approved by the Commissioner of Education or a regional accrediting agency
• Complete a state-approved NYS Registered Program that contains studies required for School Building Leader certification; your institution will also need to recommend you as a candidate for certification
• Have three years of full-time, valid experience in the classroom teaching service or pupil personnel service (e.g. school counselor)
• Earn passing scores on the School Building Leader Assessment Test and the Educating All Students (EAS) Test

Professional SBL Certificate

In contrast, the Professional SBL Certificate requires candidates to:

• Complete three years of full-time experience in an educational leadership position
• Participate in mentoring from a certified administrator during the first year of work experience
• Complete 100 hours of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) every five years

View SBL Initial & Professional Experience Requirements.

School District Leader (SDL)

Professional SDL Certificate

To apply for the Professional SDL Certificate, you must:

• Have three years of full-time, classroom teaching, pupil personnel service, or educational leadership experience. View a list of sample SDL Professional Experience Requirements
• Hold a master’s degree from an institution of higher education approved by the Commissioner of Education or a regional accrediting agency; you must have completed at least 60 hours of graduate coursework
• Complete a state-approved NYS Registered Program that contains studies required for School District Leader certification; your institution will also need to recommend you as a candidate for certification
• Earn passing scores on the School District Leader Assessment Test and the Educating All Students (EAS) Test

An alternative to the SDL is the Transitional D Certificate, which is aimed at educators who have a district-level administrator job offer in an NYS public school and can enroll in a Transitional D educational program (e.g. Mercy U’s M.S. in Alternative Route: School District Leader (Transitional D)). Individuals who hold the Transitional D Certificate eventually transition to the Professional SDL Certificate. View Transitional D Certification Requirements.

Educational Leadership Jobs in New York

Educational Leadership Career Outlook

Like Texas, New York is a high-flying state for education employment. If you look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)’s profiles of K-12 education administrators and postsecondary education administrators, you’ll see how well educational leaders are doing.

• In fact, the New York-Newark-Jersey City metropolitan area has the highest employment level of K-12 administrators in the country. We’re assuming that the density of New York City schools will have contributed to this ranking.
• New York can’t compete with Illinois, Texas, or Florida in the employment of higher education administrators. But it’s still one of the top ten states for jobs in this category.

If you want to dig deep, you can examine the Labor Data section on New York State’s Department of Labor website. This includes current occupational employment data and long-term industry projections. For example, educational services are predicted to see a modest rise over ten years to 2030.

Educational Leadership Salaries

Educational Leadership Salaries in New York

Start with Payscale’s cumulative data for all holders of the Doctor of Education (EdD) Degree. This will allow you to compare salary data by job title (e.g. Elementary School Principal vs. Academic Dean) and give you some ballpark estimates for negotiations. Keep in mind that these are national averages.

New York’s Department of Labor conducts a Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) that can be filtered by industry and average wages by county. It’s intriguing to note that schools & universities in Monroe County—home to the University of Rochester and RIT—and Albany County offer some of the highest wages in the state outside of New York City.

PreK-12 Administrator Salaries in New York

Overall, New York salaries for K-12 education administrators are consistently strong. In 2023, New York had the second highest annual mean wage in the country and the New York-Newark-Jersey City triangle paid the fourth-highest wages among metropolitan areas. Naturally, some of these wages come with a higher cost of living.

You can cross-check these numbers against the AASA’s Superintendents Salary and Benefits Survey and NYSED’s New York State School Administrator Salary Disclosure Data. NYSED’s annual report includes a list of school districts, titles (e.g. superintendent, director, principal, etc.), salaries, and benefits.

Higher Education Salaries in New York

For postsecondary education administrators, the news is equally good. In 2023, New York was the top paying state for higher education leaders based on mean wages. Albany and Ithaca metropolitan areas were in the top 10.

Sites like Indeed and Payscale will provide you with estimates for administrative jobs at specific universities, but we always recommend you reach out to your network to verify the data.
