Doctorate in Educational Leadership program seeks applicants

Applications are being accepted for the third cohort of Sacramento State’s doctoral program in Educational Leadership. Students interested in assuming key executive leadership positions in California’s P-12 schools and community colleges are encouraged to apply.
           
The program provides students an opportunity to complete a doctoral degree in three years.

“The program equips leaders with the skills to improve the educational attainment of students,” says program director Carlos Nevarez.  “We’re recruiting men and women who want to solve problems in education. That’s essential,” he says. “Then we sharpen their analytical skills. We want them to be reformers and leaders.”

The Ed.D is an independent educational doctoral degree, and is designed for working professionals and practitioners in the field of education, with class meetings held on weekends and evenings. The three-year advanced study plan is data driven and emphasizes hands-on practice, policy analysis, leadership skills and individual initiative. Classes follow the cohort learning model and students progress and develop their skills as a team.

The program is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Colleges of Education and Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies. Applications deadline for fall 2009 is April 7. Visit www.edweb.csus.edu/edd or contact Nevarez at 278-2282 or at edd@csus.edu to attend an orientation session or to learn more about the program.
