Doctor of Management in Organizational Leadership
The DM program creates a perfect opportunity for mid-career professionals to refresh and recreate their commitment to the tasks required of organizational leaders.
The program's curriculum is designed to develop the learner's ability to create original solutions to complex issues and to carefully identify and apply the most appropriate research methodology for addressing these issues.
Doctor of Management in Information Systems and Technology
This doctoral program in IST management incorporates coursework in fundamental management, organizational, and leadership concepts to engender the development of IST leadership perspectives. As such, learners with a professional leadership background in any discipline will be able to add their unique perspective to the study of the context, breadth, and processes of IST management.
Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)
As the global information economy evolves, organizations are becoming increasingly complex, and innovative organizational models and practices have become crucial to successfully addressing this complexity.
The study provides the learner an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of germinal and current literature and to reflect competence in applying learning to actual organizational issues.
Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.)
At no time in history has the need for quality education been greater. At the same time, educators face challenges unlike those faced by their predecessors. They must facilitate learning in culturally diverse classrooms; prepare students for jobs in a global, information-based economy; manage their classrooms, schools, and systems effectively and efficiently in the face of severe funding pressures.
Doctor of Education in Curriculum and Instruction
The Doctor of Education in Curriculum and Instruction program will prepare learners to become instructional leaders who will strategically manage and lead processes related to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Graduates will demonstrate both practical and scholarly knowledge in their use of analytical, critical, and innovative thinking to improve the performance of educational institutions.
Doctor of Health Administration (DHA)
The curriculum provides content in leadership, organizational analysis, research, policy, quality improvement, economics, and technology. Students will apply coursework to their area of health service concentration.
