Distance Learning Ph.D. in Educational Leadership

The study of educational leadership seeks to prepare today’s educators and education policy makers to improve the state of education by advancing knowledge through theory and practice. Leaders who are skilled in both organizational leadership and decision-making will advance the design and delivery of instruction for student achievement, oversee management of an educational institution and its operations, as well as human resource development, and building parental and community involvement and support.

The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree are the most advanced degrees awarded by universities. The Ed.D. in Education is best suited for the current educational practitioner seeking to operate at the highest level of competence in leadership roles such as principals, superintendents, administrators, and supervisors in K-12 educational systems. The Ph.D. in Education is the appropriate path for one to pursue in order to become a highly qualified professor or researcher who can assume positions in higher education settings in both the public and private sectors.
