Educational Leadership, MBA/Ed.D.
The purpose of this program is to prepare students to assume major leadership positions in a wide variety of education-related organizations by applying managerial skills and educational leadership in the field of education. The program is designed to prepare students to enter educational management in school systems, regional, state, or federal governments, higher education institutions, research institutions, private foundations, or private sector companies.
Candidates must be admitted to both the Neeley School’s MBA program and the College of Education’s Ed.D. program. They must then meet all core requirements listed below as well as complete the START Workshop or MBA orientation. In the event a student elects to complete the MBA without continuing into the doctoral program, he/she must meet all remaining requirements for the MBA (i.e., elective units in the School of Business). If a student's work is unsatisfactory in MBA courses, and he/she is not permitted to continue, he or she may not be permitted to commence the doctoral program. Throughout the program, students must maintain a B average. At the completion of coursework, students will take written and oral comprehensives before proceeding into the dissertation stage.
