Higher Education Specialization (Education Ph.D.)
About
The doctoral specialization in Higher Education, part of our Education Ph.D. program, prepares ethical, visionary, informed and competent programmatic and institutional leaders in increasingly diverse and technologically advanced colleges and universities. The program provides mid-career professionals with the theoretical and practical frameworks to understand institutions of higher education — everything from large research universities to community colleges — as complex organizations within the social context of the United States and global education. The curriculum includes foundations in leadership, law and policy, socio-cultural identity differences/diversity, ethical professional practice, historical context, and technological competence. Students develop advanced research skills to explore critical questions related to these areas, evaluating existing scholarship and conducting original studies.
