Graduate Education Degrees

Graduate Programs at the School of Education

Studies in Education have been a cornerstone at Hofstra University starting with the school’s founding in 1935. Since that time, teachers and administrator alumni from our graduate programs at the School of Education have played a pivotal role in raising the level of academic achievement for districts on Long Island, Westchester, and New York City--helping those districts consistently rank in the top 100 for New York State and the nation. In addition, our leadership programs in higher education have produced successful educational advocates at the post-secondary level. Learn more about our vast spectrum of master’s degrees and advanced certificates, as well as four doctoral degree programs.
