This program has been designed to prepare leaders for service in a variety of organizational
settings. Components of the degree program include: the cohort model (wherein all
candidates in the cohort begin and complete their core courses at the same time);
application of theory to practice; action research; group presentations; theme-based
and program-based seminars; frequent colloquia; and many other experiences deemed
current and appropriate for doctoral students. Our expectations are that candidates
completing the program will be prepared as knowledgeable and skilled practitioners
fully equipped for success in a dynamic and changing world.
