The college now offers a master’s degree program in higher education leadership and administration. The program was created for students who are interested in pursuing a career as a college leader. This diverse program consists of programs such as higher education law, strategic planning, budgeting, risk management, community relations, enrollment management and effective leadership styles.

Apply nowGraduates with this degree will be able to work in a wide array of career avenues such as:

  • Mid-level and senior positions at colleges and universities
  • State higher education agencies
  • Regional accrediting agencies
  • Non-governmental organizations
  • Education consulting firms

Along with this new degree, the college has also added two new graduate level certificates of advanced study. Certificates are offered in organizational leadership, combining courses in the College’s M.B.A. and educational leadership programs, and in quality control for higher education, which focuses on developing skills in research, assessment, accreditation and program evaluation. Theses certificates are meant to supplement the MSED.

This new program is the base offering of the College’s new R. Mark Sullivan Institute of Higher Education Leadership. Established in 2012 and modeled after other programs at Ivy League institutions, the center will focus on all areas of college academia and administration. This new program will produce higher education leaders who will continue on towards creating strong institutions around the country.

Saint Rose is currently accepting applications for Fall 2013. If you’re interested in applying, you can get an application from the Office of Graduate Admissions by e-mailing grad@strose.edu.

The new year is coming into full swing, love is in the air with Valentine’s Day, and there are a few events to look out for in the upcoming month. My personal pick for the month would be Green Day’s American Idiot play (I’ve been wanting to see it for years). There are plenty of other happenings in the area, so don’t let the coldest month of the year get you down!

Do you ever find yourself outside of a building, waiting for someone to let you in? The academic buildings at Saint Rose lock in the evenings, and can only be opened using your Saint Rose ID card. So why not get one?

To obtain your official Saint Rose ID card, you must appear in person to the Golden Knights Card Office located on the third floor of Saint Joseph Hall in the Student Solution Center. You will need some form of photo identification: driver’s license, government issued ID, military ID or passport. It’s a quick process. Get your photo taken, wait for card to be created, put it in a safe place, and leave. Simple as that.

The card holds your Student ID number below your picture. This number is used to access all of your student account information including payment information, textbook rentals, access to the secure site, etc. So if you’re a forgetful person, you can always check your ID card to confirm your student ID.

The Saint Rose ID card is also used to access library materials. Borrowing books, interlibrary loan, and access to the printers and copiers. While logged onto your student account on any of the campus computers, you can hit the print button. After hitting ‘print’, you can swipe your ID card through the reader at the printer and it will give you options, from your account of the items that you chose to print. Students are given an allotment of printing cash each semester that’s directly deposited onto their ID cards.

To replace lost, stolen, or damaged ID cards, you must appear in person to the Golden Knights Card Office located on the third floor of Saint Joseph Hall in the Student Solution Center. The replacement fee is $30.00. After activation of a new card, any old ID cards will become deactivated.

The Golden Knights Card Office is open Monday-Friday from 8:30am-4:30pm. If you have any questions, contact them at (518) 337-4694 or via email.

Parking at Saint Rose

Albany can be a very crowded city. It seems the most crowded when it’s 6:10pm, you can’t find a parking spot on the street, and class starts in 5 minutes. It can get frustrating. Saint Rose has space to park your car so you can make it to class on-time without all the added stress.

Saint Rose offers commuter parking permits for $50 and they run from September through August. Even though it’s the Spring semester, permits are still available. Unfortunately, they won’t carry over to the fall semester (only through the summer semesters), but it will make parking in the snow a much simper task. The parking lots will always be plowed and Saint Rose parking tickets cost about the same amount as the permits. Failure to pay Saint Rose parking tickets will lead to a hold on your student account, stopping you from registering for classes, graduating, etc. Purchasing a parking pass can help you avoid these inconveniences.

Alternatively, if you live near a bus stop, hop on the CDTA. Students are entitled to free rides on the CDTA with the use of their Saint Rose ID card.

Parking permits can be purchased online or in-person at the Saint Rose Security Office on the corner of Partridge Ave. and Western Ave. For more information, call the Security Office at (518) 454-5187.
