Leadership, Culture, and Curriculum Doctorate
The Ph.D. in Educational Leadership is an integrated approach to educational leadership that embraces the new world of education so that leaders are prepared to meet the needs of diverse student populations and communities through an array of educational institutions and programs.
Format and Curriculum
Miami University’s Educational Leadership, Ph.D. program offers flexibility for working professionals. Our course delivery model includes primarily synchronous face-to-face learning and some synchronous online learning.
