Become a transformative educational leader

The SJSU Lurie College of Education's Ed.D. Educational Leadership Program vision is to develop the next generation of leaders who possess the deep knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to understand the causes of inequitable outcomes in PK-12 and higher educational institutions and are able to develop, implement, and assess transformative pedagogies, practices, and curricula that could potentially improve the life chances of all parties in a system (e.g., students, teachers, staff), especially those from minoritized groups. We offer hybrid, fully online, MA-to-EdD, and a combined EdD/Preliminary Administrative Services credential options. Join our community of transformative leaders!
