The mission of the Educational Leadership Department (EDL) is to prepare future school leaders who desire to make a powerful difference in the lives of students.

EDL prepares exceptional leaders for a diverse Pre-K-12 school system and for postsecondary leadership. Students complete coursework as part of a cohort. Field experiences are central to the program, and students participate in meaningful leadership activities throughout their program.
