Full Faculty Listing  

The Department of Leadership and Educational Studies serves the education community and the public through:

- foundations of education courses for teacher education majors
- research courses to help students develop skills and knowledge needed to understand the design, implementation and evaluation of educational research
- graduate programs in public school administration; community college and higher education administration and teaching, developmental education and adult education; library science; and educational media/instructional technology

A student working toward a degree and/or licensure in the Department of Leadership and Educational Studies must develop her/his Program of Study in consultation with an approved advisor. Candidacy forms must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies and Research before the student has completed 12 semester hours of course work. Degree students taking courses without being officially assigned an advisor and receiving the advisor’s approval do so at the risk of not having the courses approved as part of the degree program.

Consult the Graduate Bulletin for further information.
