The multidisciplinary Learning and Leadership Doctoral Program (Ed.D.) equips participants with an understanding of the relationship that learning plays in the leadership process. The program philosophy supports the development of reflective practitioners in a variety of organizations and focuses on the interwoven nature of learning and leadership. The curriculum emphasizes the proficiency that individuals will need as they pursue the challenges of organizational change. Major themes include, “How do we measure performance?”, “How do people adapt to change?”, and “What role does learning play in organizational improvement?”
The Learning and Leadership Program begins with a cohort of participants and a faculty team engaging in an induction learning experience followed by a five semester sequence of required core courses (27 credits) offered via hybrid delivery (face-to-face and online). Upon completion of the core, individuals have the opportunity to concentrate their studies in a particular subject matter area through elective course work (24 credits). Other major elements of the program include the development of the Comprehensive Assessment and the final core course, LEAD 7700: Pre-Dissertation Seminar. The Comprehensive Assessment involves the development of a comprehensive plan of learning objectives consistent with program competencies. The competency domains are Learning, Leadership, Research, Measurement, Organizational Effectiveness, Technology and Innovation, and Communication.
