The Educational Leadership & Policy Studies program at Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development is designed to help students become effective leaders in a variety of settings. Students will cover topics essential for educational leaders, researchers, and policy analysts: school governance, educational equity and the law, educator evaluation and supervision, research design, diversity and justice in education, and more. Once students have completed a degree in the Educational Leadership & Policy Studies program, they will be prepared to be leaders ready to make an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students will learn how to tackle the most challenging issues in education leadership, such as working effectively with stakeholders; managing resources; developing, supervising and evaluating staff; strategic planning; understanding the laws governing education; utilizing scholarly research to strengthen decision-making; and, most important, advancing improved outcomes for all <\/em>students with an emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion. Some of our degrees also include field-based experiences that give students the opportunity to gain exposure to the field before they graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We offer a wide range of degrees in the program, including a Doctor of Education (EdD), a Master of Education (EdM) for those working in primary and secondary education, and a Master of Arts (MA). The program also offers a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) and a graduate certificate. For those wanting to work in traditional public schools, some of the degrees include the opportunity to seek initial administrative licensure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
