PhD in Educational Administration and Supervision

This doctoral degree in educational leadership prepares school and district leaders who want to guide learning design, use data in decisions and drive change across systems. It is organized around national standards for building-level leadership. Students work on shared vision, safe and positive school culture, instructional programs, school operations, equity and the legal and policy context of education. Candidates choose among five concentrations, including school-level and district-level tracks. The district-level concentration can make graduates eligible for Illinois's Superintendent endorsement or Florida educational leadership certification, with administrative experience required in Illinois. The full degree totals 60 semester hours. It is offered through National College of Education at National Louis University, which has locations in Chicago, Illinois and Tampa, Florida.
