Be a leader who charts a course to navigate the cultural, economic, and technological changes of the future.
For a more hands-on leadership career path rather than a research focus, the Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership is a closer fit to your goal than a Ph.D. Graduates of this program serve as C-level executives, HR vice presidents, policy and program directors, healthcare leaders, therapists and career coaches, consultants, and sales team leaders—just to name a few.
