Doctorate of Education in K-12 Education Leadership

Jones International University

not available Request Information

JIU created its Doctorate of Education in K-12 Education Leadership program for educators with the passion, vision, and focus to not only meet these new challenges, but who are committed to excellence and affecting positive change where they teach.

The prime objective of our EdD program is to graduate K-12 leaders who are critical thinkers - with exceptional knowledge, skills, and integrity - who are able to apply theory to the creative and innovative solution of practical education problems.

Our curriculum balances the study of theory with the practice of leadership in today's public schools. Students do not complete their program merely by reading and writing in their home offices. Instead, each student completes professional synthesizing projects, professional leadership development reports, and a dissertation that require him/her to apply classroom learning in practical ways - all under the guidance of supervising professors who are both scholars and successful practitioners. Graduates emerge confident and fully prepared to make a difference in their learning communities.

Among the Doctorate program's highlights:

• 100% online - providing you with the flexibility and convenience to earn your degree while balancing other professional and personal commitments.
• Designed to be completed in as few as three years.
• A synchronous weekend - also conducted online - is scheduled once a year during your program to allow for in-depth topics to be explored and boost collaboration/teamwork.
• Exclusive parallel mentoring track features a guided, iterative process to help each student to move more effectively and efficiently toward the completion of his/her degree.
• Round-the-clock access to extensive resources in JIU's renowned e-global library, as well as online tutorials developed specifically for doctoral students in the K-12 Leadership program.

Who should enroll in this degree program: The EdD program prepares key K-12 education leaders who serve as teachers, academic department chairpersons, and professional development personnel; administrators, principals, and superintendents; education faculty at institutions of higher education; researchers within organizations that create, implement, and/or evaluate education policy; and entrepreneurs who work with schools and other learning organizations.

Transfer credits are available for applicable courses.
