OVERVIEW
The programs in Educational Leadership prepare candidates for careers in educational leadership, research, policy analysis, and the professoriate.

They foster high quality independent and critical inquiry into educational ideas and issues and provide candidates with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to function as scholarly, ethical, and reflective decision makers. The programs prepare individuals to lead complex educational organizations in ways that improve schools, foster democratic communities, and promote social justice.
