LEADERSHIP Leadership is the act of encouraging interaction and inspiring vision to facilitate a process of organizational change that results in the attainment of desired institutional goals through the empowerment of people while performing as an ethical example. The courses required in each component and their sequence is listed on the following pages. The doctor of education program contains six components: Doctoral Knowledge Core; Research Foundations; Socio-Cultural Foundations; Psycho-Behavioral Foundations; Leadership Foundations; Cognate Area/Leadership Electives. PROGRAM OF STUDY Each student will complete a detailed program of study (see Appendix B) in consultation with his/her advisor. This form should be submitted to the Graduate School prior to the completion of 12 doctoral semester credit hours. The program of study will be designed to ensure breadth of professional knowledge and an appropriate specialization in educational leadership. In consultation with the student's advisor, revisions can be made to the program of study. All revisions must have the approval of the student's program advisor, the Center Director, and the Dean of the College of Education (see Appendix C). At least 99 semester hours are required beyond the bachelor's degree, inclusive of applicable master's and specialist degree credit. This minimum number of semester hours must include 45 credits from the Doctoral Knowledge Core. The Ed. D. program consists of a minimum of 99 credits beyond the bachelor's degree. Students who have not completed the master's degree will be encouraged to do so prior to pursuing admission to the doctoral degree. Although all appropriate graduate credits from the master's and beyond will be transferred to the Ed. D., students must complete the doctoral block and dissertation, which total 45 credits, plus the necessary prerequisites.
