Thank you for your interest in the Doctoral Program in Learning and Leadership at
the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga!
The multidisciplinary Doctoral Program in Learning and Leadership (Ed.D) equips participants with an understanding of the relationship that learning plays in the leadership process. Our philosophy supports the development of reflective leaders as 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 doctoral program of study incorporates specific competency and skills within the participant’s professional environment through the practical application of course activities. A combination of hybrid/blended required course work ensures that the individual’s specific professional goals are supported. Members of each doctoral cohort initially complete a set of core courses (30 credit hours) prior to transitioning to a personalized area of focus. Upon completion of the core, individuals will have the opportunity to concentrate their studies in a particular cognate area through focused elective course work (24 credit hours) and the dissertation research (12 credit hours minimum).
Other major elements of the program include the development of an Individualized Learning and Leadership Program (ILLP) and the successful preparation and defense of the dissertation. The ILLP 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.
