On behalf of the faculty of the Department of Educational Leadership and Professional Studies, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our homepage. The faculty in the Educational Leadership and Professional studies are pleased that you are visiting us to learn more about how we prepare our students for the leadership challenges facing them in education. Our program has been designed so that our students leave with not only with a leader's vision of education, but also with a clearly defined educational philosophy, one that they can communicate to students and their parents, the school's staff, and individuals within their school community.
