Be a Doctor. In Education.
Doctoral Degree Program
Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership
The Ed.D. is designed for experienced, place-bound, fully-employed P-16 education leaders and practitioners.
The program is designed to meet a set of “best practice” competencies/outcomes integrated with individual career and personal goals for educational leaders with five or more years of professional experience.
Two unique elements of the program include:
A cohort project focusing on a contemporary regional issue in education that impacts the educational attainment, economic viability, and/or livability in the metropolitan area, and;
An individual "action-research" dissertation intended to improve the quality of the organization and affect positive change in the institution in which the participant works.
The initial implementation date for admission of the first cohort of 10-20 students is August 2008. It is anticipated that two cohorts of 15-20 students will be admitted annually, one in June and a second in January of each year. Applications for admission are now available.
