The doctoral and specialist degrees in educational administration are terminal degrees designed to enhance leadership and develop expertise in chosen fields.


Graduates from the Educational Leadership program will gain the experience and expertise to lead others by engaging in problem solving, planning, research, assessment, and collaboration.

Distance Friendly Formatting:

  • Remote Classes. Most UNO EDL courses are synchronous remote classes. We meet as a class via Zoom at the same time. In between class sessions, students complete independent learning and fieldwork.
  • Online Classes. Some UNO EDL classes are asynchronous online. Asynchronous courses are completed online independently during the semester. There is no whole-class meeting.

Covenings:

Throughout the academic year, the UNO Educational Leadership Department hosts several opportunities for all UNO EDL students, faculty, alumni, and extended community to network and learn together. Convenings are specifically designed to increase our professional network and grow our leadership knowledge and skills.

  • September 2022 – Leadership Speaker and Dinner (in-person, weeknight)
  • January 2023 – Topics In Education Symposium (remote, weeknight)
  • May 2023 – Lead Like A Maverick (in-person, Saturday)
