Program Description
The PhD in Educational Leadership program is designed to prepare education scholars, practitioners, and leaders across and for P-20+ educational contexts by engaging in the breadth and depth of theoretical and practical knowledge related to leadership, ethics, equity, research, and policy. Students are provided with opportunities to engage with and address contemporary education-related problems of practice through coursework that provides breadth and depth in the areas of leadership development and course-based and non-course based research training. The program seeks admissions applications from P-12 teachers, school leaders, and higher education administrators who are seeking formal leadership and decision-making roles across P-12 and post-secondary contexts (i.e., schools, districts, state-level organizations, community colleges, technical schools, four-year colleges and universities, state and federal level educational policy bodies).
Courses are offered through multiple modalities: face-to-face, on-line, and hybrid. Face-to-face courses are offered on-campus in Clemson, SC, at the University Center Greenville (UCG) in Greenville, SC, and other locations across the state of South Carolina. Students take classes from and work with faculty members experienced in research, teaching and leadership.
