Welcome to the Department of Educational Administration and Policy Studies

The mission of the Department of Educational Administration & Policy Studies (EAPS) in the School of Education at the University at Albany is to enhance the understanding and practice of leading educational organizations and policy analysis across all levels of education. The faculty are regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized experts in educational policy as well as elementary, secondary, and postsecondary school management and leadership. Through studies leading to a master's degree (M.S.), advanced graduate certificate (A.G.C.), certificate of advanced studies (C.A.S.), or a doctorate (Ph.D.), students are prepared to be successful educational leaders as school and district level administrators, college and university faculty and administrators, and researchers and policymakers at domestic and international agencies and foundations around the world.
