About the Concentration
The doctor of education with a concentration in educational leadership is designed specifically for practicing administrators, education leaders, and teachers on an administrative track in prekindergarten through 12th grade public and nonpublic schools and school systems. This program will help practitioners develop leadership skills through self-reflection and analysis, and best practices through practical application. Those skills and practices can then be used to solve real problems in the workplace. The planning and implementation of projects based on these problems are the cornerstones of the program. The doctoral program in educational leadership focuses on providing broad knowledge of social, political, and economic forces at work in society, as well as a narrow concentration on mechanical or logistical issues that tend to perpetuate parochialism and traditionalism.
Who Should Apply
- practicing superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals, assistant principals, and lead teachers in public and nonpublic K-12 education
- individuals with master's degrees in education and on an administrative track who wish to obtain a doctoral degree and increase their knowledge and skills in K-12 education administration and leadership
