Learning, Leadership, and Education Policy
Overview
The Learning, Leadership, and Education Policy Ph.D. offers two concentrations in (a) Adult Learning and (b) Leadership and Policy. These two concentration areas provide Ph.D. students with the opportunity to link their professional and academic goals to scholarship, faculty resources, and curriculum that are designed to meet their interests in adult learning, educational leadership, education policy, and higher education.
These two distinct but complementary areas of concentration offer those students who wish to pursue a Ph.D. degree the opportunity to draw from their current careers, prior experiences, and previous education to achieve their academic objectives and long-term professional goals. With one concentration primarily focusing on learning theory, and the other on theories of policy and leadership, students can maintain distinct academic identities while simultaneously applying lenses of social justice and organizational change to their work in and with complex organizations.
