Joint Ed.D. in Educational
Administration and Leadership
This new degree was recommended by the Senate on November 14, 2002,
approved by the President on November 15, 2002 and approved by the
Chancellor on June 17, 2003. This joint doctoral program is a collaborative
partnership between the University of California and selected campuses
of the California State University (CSU) system. The program has many
options designed to prepare current and future K-16 educational leaders
to develop and nurture organizations that can serve the diverse populations
of southern California. Program graduates will be reflective
scholar practitioners aware of the complex challenges of curricula,
finance, organizational
dynamics, and effective collaborative partnerships with local, state,
and national stakeholders in California K-16 school systems.
Emphasis will be placed on the expanding and changing role of education
as an intervention for social change in meeting the multifaceted needs
of society. Graduates, in a cohort learning community, will
experience an interdisciplinary approach to educational leadership,
teaching and learning, organizational development and management,
and research.
California State University, Long Beach provides the direction
for the higher education leadership option. Candidates for
this option/program will be selected by the Joint Admissions Committee
and will be required to (a) meet the general admissions requirements
of the UCI Graduate Division and (b) be recommended for admission
by the Program's Joint Graduate Admission Committee. Standards
of excellence and criteria such as the following will be considered
for graduate review: (a) completion of the Master's Degree study
in education, normally from one of the participating CSU campuses;
(b) a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in coursework taken for
the baccalaureate degree; the GPA in Master's Degree study will
also be considered; (c) three letters of recommendation from individuals
familiar with the applicant's ability to perform graduate level
work; (d) a specified minimum total score on the verbal and quantitative
sections of the Graduate Record Examination
aptitude test; (e) quality of written materials required to be submitted
by the applicants; and (f) a successful interview with at least
one member of the Program's Joint Graduate Admissions Committee.
A prescribed sequence of courses for this program is designed for
three years of study including summers. After completion of
all course work, the candidate advances to candidacy and undertakes
the dissertation. All candidates must be formally in residence (enrolled
in the equivalent of at least one 4-unit course) at the University
of California, Irvine (UCI) as well as at a CSU campus for no less
than three quarters/two semesters. A typical student course of study
would consist of approximately 18 courses plus the dissertation
beyond the Master's Degree.
A joint Memorandum of Understanding addresses program issues and
requirements. See the Ed.D. Advisor in the Educational Psychology,
Administration and Counseling Department for details and the Educational
