Ed.D. in Educational Leadership for Equity and Social Change


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Graduate and Professional Programs

Our EdD program empowers current and aspiring leaders to develop the capacities and skills to transform lives, schools, organizations, and communities.

The innovative curriculum, offered in a hybrid format, is designed so working professionals can complete all degree requirements, including the dissertation, in three years. Courses invite learners to apply theory and research directly to their own practice.

With equity at the core of the curriculum, our graduates become educational and community leaders who address the causes and consequences of systemic injustice. They are critical scholar-practitioners who understand the challenges of our increasingly complex and global society and have the capacity and tools to adapt to the changing demands of the 21st century.
