Doctor of Education (EdD)

EdD in Administration and Supervision - School District Leadership

Become a change agent in education, leading schools as an innovative district leader. You’ll be well-equipped to successfully and ethically manage and navigate curricular, programmatic, and budgetary decisions in both urban and suburban school district settings. You will be ready to implement innovative solutions and impact organizational change in school communities and districts.

EdD in Administration and Supervision – Principal Preparation

As a principal, you’ll have the opportunity to lead a school community and create programs and initiatives with a lasting impact on students, tackling equity issues along the way. You have the experience teaching in the classroom. Now it’s time to hone your leadership skills with an advanced degree.

EdD in School Psychology

Support students’ mental health and address social inequities in schools. Every school district in the country is required to have a school psychologist to support students, but a national shortage of professionals educated in this field means that many schools are going without this essential support. Earn an EdD in School Psychology and help to confront this equity issue.

EdD in Curriculum, Culture, and Communities (3Cs)

New for the Fall of 2021, the EdD in 3Cs is designed with a social justice framework across schools and communities to prepare educators, community organizers, faith-based leaders, nonprofit leaders, and others to take on new challenges as socially-just educators and researchers in institutions of higher education, schools, and communities.

PhD Programs

PhD in Counseling Psychology

Earn your doctoral degree and license to practice as a professional psychologist in a nationally recognized, social justice oriented, APA approved program focused on breaking down barriers to equity in health and education.

PhD in Higher Education

Prepare for an academic or administrative career with an interdisciplinary program that encourages students to connect theory to practice while supporting scholarship on equity and social justice in various postsecondary contexts.

PhD in Research Methodology

Use numbers and data to drive systematic change in education. Here, unlike in math or statistics, numbers are not the final answer. Work in educational and institutional research, using numbers to tell the story of the human experience and create meaningful change.

PhD in School Psychology

Use data-driven solutions to enhance equality across the education system, work directly with students, and publish change-making research that will disrupt inequities in our education system.

Education Specialist Programs

MEd/EDs in School Psychology

Support students and their families to facilitate a successful school experience. Combining the principles of educational and school psychology, this dual degree program equips you to be a school psychologist that advocates for the best interests of students and their parents, confronting the inequities of our education system along the way. You’ll learn skills and strategies to support students both in and outside the classroom, enabling them to have the most successful learning experience possible.

EdS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling

The education field needs professionals who can meet client concerns from diverse cultural perspectives. This degree prepares professionals who are knowledgeable about cultural influences on human development.

MEd Teacher Preparation Programs

MEd in Secondary Education

Earn a degree and certification to teach at the high school level. As a high school teacher, you’ll have the opportunity to support and influence students at a critical, formative time in their life.

MEd in Catholic Principal Preparation

MEd Programs

Our nationally recognized faculty are experts in social justice and ready to work with you to confront racism, achievement gaps, and other discrimination in our education system.

 
MEd in Higher Education

Become a leading practitioner-scholar, promoting access, equity, and social justice within postsecondary contexts. This degree is a rare combination, offering content around student affairs and higher education administration rather than specializing in one or the other. Combining these two areas means you’ll be better able to serve and support college students.

MEd in School Counseling

Support students as their school counselor, putting special emphasis on lifting up underserved and disenfranchised populations. Earn your professional license in a program committed to breaking barriers and disrupting current inequities in our educational system.

MEd in School and Community Counseling

At the intersection of school and community life, this is an opportunity for you to support students and their families as a licensed professional counselor. Our nationally recognized faculty are experts in social justice and ready to work with you to confront racism, achievement gaps, and other discrimination in our education system.

MEd in Curriculum, Culture, & Communities (3Cs) - Hybrid & In-Person

New for the Fall of 2021, this program is designed within a social justice framework across schools and communities to prepare educators, community organizers, faith-based leaders, policy-makers, and others to take on new challenges as socially-just curriculum specialists in institutions of higher education, schools and communities.

MEd in Catholic School Leadership

MEd in Elementary Education

Designed for individuals looking to make a difference in the lives of children, this program focuses on inclusive education and developing pedagogical and advocacy skills to promote equity and social justice for all learners in your classroom.

MA Programs

MA in Community Counseling

Take the first step on your journey to disrupt the status quo and eliminate mental health inequities. If you want to learn the skills needed to help communities living with disparities in health and well-being, especially the underserved, this program is the place for you to shift the inequitable landscape.

MA in Research Methodology

Data tells the story of the human experience. In this program, we look at numbers in context. Unlike in math or statistics, where a number is the final answer, we know that numbers tell a story. We challenge our students to use data to highlight the systematic and personal characteristics that contribute to social inequities and leverage the findings to devise ways to offset those inequities.

Five-Year Programs

Become a high school biology, chemistry, math, or science teacher, earning a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in secondary education in this five-year program. You’ll qualify for a higher salary with a graduate degree, and be able to earn both degrees more quickly than if you enrolled in the two programs separately.
