The Ph.D. program in urban leadership is an innovative program designed to meet the needs of urban K-14 educational leaders. Each cohort is a highly selective group of educators with a demonstrated potential for leadership education or a related field. Courses are offered on Friday evenings and Saturdays to accommodate the busy schedules of educational leaders.
The program encourages students to bridge the real life experience of their work place to their academic studies. California's requirements for the Professional Administrative Services Credential are available in the program. We encourage applications from experienced working professionals interested in promoting accountability and social justice in education--from P-12 to college, from policy-makers to classroom teachers.
The program is built on the premise that the sustainability of urban communities will serve as a key indicator of the vitality of the larger society, and it regards the development of successful urban inner-city schools as the major educational challenge of the twenty-first century. The urban leadership Ph.D. program is based upon four guiding principles:
Effecting local and systematic change in education will require a critical mass of effective urban education leaders.
Creating successful urban schools will require a redefinition of schools as organizations and educational leadership in grades P-14.
Sustainable urban communities are enhanced by the presence of successful schools and community colleges.
Educational leaders in sustainable urban communities must have the capacity to effectively integrate natural, human, and social assets in their immediate communities.
