Welcome Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the Education Doctorate in Executive Leadership at St. John Fisher College. This program is designed for managers and executives in education and other related organizations. The program challenges traditional assumptions about doctoral education by providing a rigorous multidisciplinary program of study that incorporates innovative teaching, theory with practice, applied research, and personalized student services. You will discover the difference as candidates from diverse backgrounds and experiences are organized into teams in a professional, intellectually stimulating, and technologically rich environment. The program promotes open discussions, creative discourse, understanding and appreciation of multiple and diverse perspectives of leadership, and candidate success. Some of the distinguishing features of this unique program include team teaching by scholar practitioners who have expertise in various disciplines and innovative instructional design, including the use of case studies, simulations, and seminars. In addition, field-based applications and experiences support opportunities for specialized study and action research. The program’s accelerated cohort model is sequential and cohesive with interrelated modules of study and a year-round weekend schedule. The systematic approach to the curriculum, field experience, and dissertation makes it possible for participants to complete the program in approximately twenty-eight months without career interruptions.
