Course summary

The doctoral program in Educational Leadership focuses on developing leaders who are capable of reflective decision making, working collaboratively, and initiating or responding to innovative change, and who have management and administrative skills. Although the doctoral program originally was designed for the educational professional fully employed in a P-12 or higher education setting, it now includes professionals from other areas, such as human services. By integrating academic instruction with opportunities to apply leadership theory to the resolution of actual workplace problems, the program helps students: understand the relationship between theory and practice; understand the context in which schools, colleges and other institutions operate; apply theory and contextual knowledge to educational problem solving; develop analytical and communication skills required for successful leadership; foster and sustain excellence. Phase One contains 12 required credit hours, including the four courses required for admission to the cohort: (1) Leadership Theory, (2) Research Literature Analysis and Writing, (3) Organizations as Cultures: Theory & Applications, and (4) Conducting and Analyzing Qualitative Research for Educational Leadership. Other required doctoral courses (Diversity in Educational Leadership and The Policy Environment) and electives are also open to students. Students may enroll on a part-time or full-time basis and may take up to nine credit hours as a non-matriculated student. Students must complete the required four courses of Phase One before entering Phase Two.
