Lead Educational Success on College or University Campuses
Your heart lies in higher education - but your aspirations don’t end in the classroom. Your goal is to educate and inspire college students; lead faculty and academic departments; maybe even run the institution itself one day.
Your Doctor of Education in Higher Education Leadership challenges you to excel at educating adult learners; enhancing an institution’s academic and administrative performance; building a collaborative, decision-making culture and meeting the growing challenges you’ll face now and in the future as a higher-education leader in the global economy.
If you want to focus your career toward hands-on administration or instructional leadership rather than dedicated research work, the Ed.D. is likely a better match to your goals than a Ph.D.
Graduates with a Doctor of Education in Higher Education Leadership have built rewarding careers as college professors, university registrars, academic counselors, deans and university presidents.
