Applications Welcome
The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, in response to a keen awareness of the perceived looming crisis in leadership, is pleased to announce open recruitment for the Fall 2010 Community College Leadership Concentration.
Masters of Education: Higher Education Leadership
The Community College Leadership Concentration
"We are in the midst of an unprecedented wave of retirements within the ranks of community college presidents, vice presidents and deans, and faculty…Thus, there is high likelihood that the extent of the leadership crisis will be much greater than previously estimated. With such large numbers of executive personnel approaching retirement, it is not surprising that issues related to faculty and leadership development have emerged as major concerns of instructional administrators, presidents, chancellors, and trustees at two-year colleges in America."
–Katsinas & Kempner, 2005, p. 1
Mission
The mission of the program is directed toward strengthening 2-year institutions of higher education by preparing future leaders to manage, change, build college communities, and to effectively apply theories and skills of leadership and management to practice. This is accomplished through a partnership with current leaders in community colleges, their districts, and private postsecondary institutions.
