Format and Curriculum
Our Educational Leadership doctoral program begins with cultural inquiry, equipping graduates to advance social justice in education. Grounded in cultural theories, we examine wealth and status disparities shaping outcomes and help leaders frame education within democratic and ethical values. Our seven guiding principles embed this vision into the curriculum for a diverse, democratic society.
