Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Transformative Leadership Superintendent Option
(60 Semester Hours)
The Ed.D. in Transformative Leadership program has established a collaboration with the Texas Superintendent Certification program, allowing students to complete four program-specific courses required for the superintendent certification as part of the Ed.D. degree. Complete superintendent certification requirements, including an additional 3-hour practicum/internship, are completed separately through the Superintendent Certification Program. The Superintendent option alters 12 hours of the profession-specific course requirements for the Ed.D. in Transformative Leadership.
