Leadership works through a collaborative structure. Each year approximately 20 applicants are accepted for the program and are assigned to a faculty advisor/mentor. Leadership emphasizes job-embedded competencies in lieu of coursework, making it field-based and flexible.

Leadership requires a one-week, on-campus orientation during the first year. During the course of the program, all students and faculty meet for several days during the annual Leadership Conference in July.

Leadership promotes study groups. The synergy that occurs when participants work together to reach common goals is one of the program's most important tools for success!

• 15+ competencies are required for the the MA, EdS, EdD, PhD
