Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership

Syracuse University

The executive doctoral degree in Educational Leadership prepares practicing schools leaders to lead effective and inclusive schools via a supportive cohort model. This nationally recognized program provides dedicated students the tools and expertise needed to transform today’s increasingly complex schools. With each cohort, a select group of highly capable school leaders take the next step in their own learning and leadership. The executive doctorate is efficiently designed around the busy lives of current school leaders. A hybrid of face-to-face and online learning allows students to become part of a cohort that builds supportive relationships with peers and that receives close mentoring from faculty, while continuing to work in educational leadership settings. Our graduates serve as school and district leaders across New York State and around the country, as well as faculty conducting research and teaching at universities. They also hold roles in government and public policy development, professional development, consultants, and elsewhere.
