San Diego State University
College of Education Doctoral Program (Ed.D.)
In Educational Leadership

Offered by the Departments of Administration, Rehabilitation and Postsecondary Education and Educational Leadership with Specializations in Community College Leadership and PreK-12 Leadership

 

Attention: SDSU has chosen to make February 1st the required deadline for graduate applications. That means that all students must have completed the CSU mentor application, departmental application, have the transcripts submitted, and completed the GRE by this date to be considered for fall admissions. We will no longer have the flexibility of admitting students at a later date.

SDSU’s Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, with specializations in PreK-12 and Community College/Postsecondary Education, is positioned to have a major impact on the education community throughout San Diego and Imperial Counties. Preparing outstanding leaders to respond to diverse student populations, the program is committed to developing reflective leaders and change agents for complex educational organizations in multicultural settings.

Emphasizing theory, research, and practice, the program provides an opportunity for candidates to work in learning communities as educators, leaders, policy makers, and policy advocates.
