Ph.D. in Organizational Learning and Leadership
The organizational analysis concentration within the Ph.D. in educational leadership program in the Department of Educational Leadership, Research and Technology at Western Michigan University is designed to develop and enhance leadership skills for those who find an institutional specialization unnecessary (i.e., not focused on K-12 or higher education institutions), with a special focus on organizational analysis skills.
Why organizational analysis at Western Michigan University?
- 100% of WMU educational leadership graduates were employed or continuing education within three months of graduation.
Application information
Currently, the EDLD Ph.D. Program only admits for a start date in fall semester. The priority deadline for each fall semester is January 15; this is the only deadline for applicants who wish to be considered for a graduate assistantship (GA), in which you work up to 20 hours per week in exchange for tuition and a stipend.
A second deadline for fall semester is March 1; no graduate assistantship funding is available for any applications completed between January 16 and March 1.
Your application must be fully completed by January 15 or March 1 (not just submitted). We recommend you submit your application at least two weeks prior to the deadline to ensure recommenders have time to complete their recommendations by the deadline.
