Program Details

Unlike similar degrees, such as the Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership, this online educational leadership degree focuses on scholarly practice, research, and teaching at the university level. Courses teach students to use expert analysis to study education policy issues, evaluate education programs, and form sustainable education policies. 

Graduates of this online degree in education administration are prepared for careers as:

  • Educators
  • Counselors
  • School leaders
  • District consultants
  • Regional service center leaders

While students can complete these synchronous courses 100% online, attendance and participation in a weekend Orientation Colloquium and a Summer Institute are encouraged. This will allow you to collaborate and network with other students and faculty.
