Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership
The Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership Program is designed for educators who are committed to providing leadership at the elementary, secondary and collegiate levels. The program seeks to prepare scholar-practitioners and leaders who:
- Value both speculative and practical knowledge and engage in continuous inquiry on professional concerns;
- Deliberate with colleagues upon organizational purposes and the means for achieving them;
- Work selflessly with others; and,
- Commit themselves to improving the quality of life within society.
The administration, faculty, and staff take a Catholic and Marianist approach to education that:
- Maintains an environment of intellectual, social, spiritual and emotional growth;
- Models reflective practitioner behavior;
- Engages students in inquiry on the major issues and challenges confronting the profession;
- Supports foundational research efforts which have implications for social policy;
- Maintains rigorous academic standards;
- Provides quality classroom instruction;
- Provides and maintains a spirit of equity in program conduct; and,
- Conducts interpersonal interactions with integrity and justice.
