“As a working professional with limited time, I
found the CNR
certification program in education administration both convenient and
of high quality with great instructors who are working professionals.
The program also gave me the opportunity to meet other professionals in
my field and to make some wonderful new contacts. I first heard about
the program from my wife, who is a school principal on Long Island, and
also attended the CNR program. The College of New Rochelle educational
opportunity was a great benefit to both of us.”
