The Doctor in Educational Leadership program offers a choice of two concentrations:
PK-12 School Administration
The concentration in school administration is designed to prepare educators for the following types of positions: administrative roles in elementary and secondary education, educational researchers, consultants and professors of school administration. Students pursuing this concentration may take additional courses to meet the requirements for a principal's license or a superintendent's license.
Concentration Coordinator: Dr. Theodore Kowalski
Higher Education
This specialization comprises a seven-course sequence probing the important literature, concepts and practices in higher education. Using reflective inquiry to generate right questions, moral inquiry to ground decisions and action inquiry to guide praxis, this program models an ongoing transformative process.
Concentration Coordinator: Dr. Michele Welkener
