The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Utah offers an Ed.D. in Higher Education Leadership and Administration. The program aims to develop the next generation of change leaders committed to equity and innovation in higher education by preparing students to hold the highest-level positions throughout higher education, the nonprofit sector, and related complex educational organizations. Offered in a cohort model, it is designed for experienced administrators looking to enhance their career as scholar-practitioners and institutional leaders.
Since we anticipate that students will be full-time employees throughout their studies, the curriculum is designed to be taken on a part-time basis (2 courses/6 credits per term) and we anticipate students completing in three years of continuous study (Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters).
Guided by nationally recognized faculty who hold leadership positions throughout higher education, the Ed.D. is modeled on theory-to-practice. Students will be taught by research faculty and full-time administrator instructors leading the way in systems change for equity in higher education. Students gain skills in application, using evidence to address persistent problems facing higher education.
