About the course

　　This nationally recognized program in the Department of Teaching & Leadership provides dedicated students the tools and expertise needed to transform today’s increasingly complex and diverse schools. With each cohort, a select group of highly capable school leaders take the next step in their own learning and leadership.

Masters and CAS courses can count toward this 90-credit doctoral requirement, requiring 33-credit cohort sequence for most students. The program is designed for students to continue to work while studying, as the program typically requires only one night on campus per week.
