A Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership from NSU prepares you to make these bigger, more lasting impacts within your organization.

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, sales team leaders, just to name a few potential career paths.

Lauderdale, FL. Students will be able to schedule individual sessions with their applied dissertation committee chairs to discuss dissertation work and with representatives from various service areas. The conference will also offer applied dissertation workshops, as well as roundtable sessions affording students the opportunity to present their dissertation work to a group of peers and receive immediate feedback.
