Education Leadership and Policy Studies (EdD)

The Graduate Programs in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies are designed to prepare the next generation of School Administrators and leaders of Higher Education. Our Masters and Ed.D programs in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies (ELPS) are Nationally Recognized; and our NEW PhD program in Higher Education Leadership and Policy Studies (HELPS) has been endorsed by prominent higher education policy and leadership organizations, including: U.S Department of Education; The United Negro College Fund;

White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities; American Council on Education; American Public-Land Grant Universities; National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education; and Excelencia.  

Each of our programs is designed to produce individuals who: possess the fundamental knowledge, skills, and attitudes relative to all phases of the organization, management, and leadership of school systems; are familiar with the forces and influences which impinge on the process of education; can use with intelligence and discrimination the findings of research and evaluation; and are sensitive to the interrelationship between school systems and the communities they serve.
