Educational Leadership (EdD)

The Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership program at Southern New Hampshire University helps prepare a new generation of transformational leaders to engage and lead positive change in education organizations and education systems. This cohort program is designed to help develop participants as scholar-practitioners by advancing their knowledge of leadership theory and practice, organizational development and research methodologies. The program supports those who wish to work beyond the confines of conventional leadership as they develop innovative ways to contribute to the success of an organization. Program content is immediately applicable in the workplace and participants are encouraged to develop their leadership practice with others within a cohort learning environment. Please note: the Dissertation in Practice Seminar continuation course is required each term beyond the completion of core program requirements until successful completion of the program. Students must complete their program within a total of 8 years. Three Intensive Summer Residencies are required.
