PhD
The Doctor of Philosophy degree in Educational Leadership provides students with a strong background in two basic academic areas: educational research and educational leadership. It provides students with competencies and skills needed for effective functioning in a formal leadership capacity in an educational (or related service) organization.
As the highest academic degree granted by Clemson University, the PhD prepares students to become scholars who can discover, integrate, and apply knowledge. Furthermore, the intent is to produce effective administrators. This preparation enables students to understand and evaluate critically existing knowledge in educational leadership. This is accomplished through close association with and apprenticeship to faculty members experienced in research, teaching, and administration.
