Educational Leadership
Become the inspiring educational leader you鈥檇 love to follow.
In today's rapidly changing learning environments, schools and higher education institutions need administrators capable of collaborative leadership.
The Master of Education in Educational Leadership program focuses on investigating and clarifying the effectiveness of education. This program provides the tools to manage existing programs and to develop new ones. Students may opt to focus on a PK-12 or higher education concentration. Each year, the Principal Fellows program admits a cohort of students from partnering districts. Those students who meet the rigorous standards for admittance into the Principal Fellows cohort receive discounted tuition through the generosity of corporate, nonprofit, and other partners. Fellows also spend year two of the program working in full time, paid administrative intern positions within their home districts. Principal Fellows follow the same certification oriented degree plan as other M.Ed. seeking students, though some deadlines prior to and during the admissions process vary.
The Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership is a research-intensive degree designed to equip graduates to engage in high-quality original scholarship. Students may opt to focus on a PK-12 or higher education concentration.
The Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership develops teacher-scholar leaders who make a difference for the common good. Students choose from a PK-12 or higher education focus.
The MBA/Doctor of Education joint program allows you to combine two degrees, giving you an advantage in the classroom and in your career.
