Educational Leadership PhD

Recognizing the centrality of policy in education practice, Educational Leadership courses give current and aspiring leaders, policy analysts, and scholars the opportunity to critically examine and synthesize research, theories, practices, and policies and to conduct rigorous research that contributes to improving education.

Students in Educational Leadership gain insight into organizational change and school reform, policies and politics, curriculum development, instructional improvement, and evaluation. Students interested in educational leadership also have the opportunity to work with the Center for Educational Policy, which manages externally funded grants and contracts.

Educational Leadership faculty are available to collaborate with doctoral students as dissertation committee members (determined on a case-by-case basis).
