Program Features

Theory & Practice: The Ph.D. in Educational Leadership is what you need if you are looking for a degree that combines deep theoretical exploration with practical and relevant examples from experienced professors.

Leadership Focus: The Ph.D. program has two strands, one focusing on K-12 and the other focusing on post-secondary leadership. However, the overarching doctoral level training addresses leadership issues impacting P-16 education.

个性化的研究: The Ph.D. program allows students a great deal of flexibility in determining their research focus and interests. Topics of past graduates have ranged from early childhood leadership to college program evaluations, 从ESL实施中出现的问题到学校改革倡议, and from attitudes of middle school children on teacher caring to perspectives held by exemplary college instructors.

Faculty Support: Once admitted, each student is assigned a program advisor to assist him or her in their program decisions. 随着学生的学习进度, the advisor will be replaced by a research chair and a committee of faculty to support and coach the student through the process of conducting independent research.

Mentor Support: 所有的学生都认同导师并与之合作, a practitioner in the area of leadership who might hold a position to which the student aspires. The mentor will provide a setting for analyzing and applying the research and theory presented in the program and will assist the student in assessing his/her professional development needs.  

Dissertations:  The PhD. in Educational Leadership has completed over 140 dissertations since its creation in 1999.  Covering topics from kindergarten teacher efficacy through racial bias in hiring in higher education, 研究的范围充分说明了我们学生的工作质量.  这里有一份最近的论文列表供你参考.
