Overview
Key facts
- The Doctor of Education Degree program in Education P-12 and Higher Ed at Georgia Southern University, now offered online beginning fall 2023, is designed to enhance the experienced school administrator’s leadership skills through: (1) advanced preparation that strengthens decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership skills essential to the management of increasingly complex educational organizations, and (2) engagement in guided field research that develops the inquiry skills necessary for effective leadership and management practice.
- The purpose is to generate an inquiry orientation so that participants will learn to solve problems from broad perspectives.
- Participants identify, diagnose, and define problems, analyze their component parts contextually and systematically, and develop solutions that are immediately applicable and that deal with underlying issues.
- Experiences over the course of the doctoral program in Educational Leadership become candidate-led, field-based investigations of educational problems and potential solutions.
