Educational Administration and Supervision at Le Moyne College

Le Moyne's educational administration certificate commands premium debt ($19,141 versus the national median of $17,125), but the earnings justify it. At $95,019 one year out, graduates earn more than 95% of peers nationwide in this credential, translating to a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.20—you're borrowing less than three months' salary to access administrative positions. The debt itself sits at the 5th percentile nationally, meaning it's actually quite modest in absolute terms despite being above average for this specific certificate.

The state-level picture is less impressive but more complicated. Le Moyne ranks at the 60th percentile among New York's five programs offering this certificate, which sounds middling until you realize the state median exactly matches Le Moyne's earnings. New York pays educational administrators well across the board, so being "average" here means earning considerably more than administrators in most other states. For families planning to stay in New York's public school systems, this certificate provides quick access to well-compensated positions.

This is a strong value proposition for teachers seeking advancement: borrow roughly $19,000, complete a focused post-baccalaureate program, and step into roles paying $95,000. The credential pays for itself in months, not years, making it one of the more efficient investments in educational leadership.
