Welcome
Welcome to the Home Page for the Educational Leadership and Policy Studies Program (ELPS). Recent reorganizations in the College of Education and Behavioral Studies brought the two programs of the former Division of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies with others into the new school of Educational Research, Leadership and Technology. The program in Higher Education and Student Affairs Leadership (HESAL) is closely affiliated. The Mission Statement clarifies our beliefs, and the links on the left provide you details on degree and licensure possibilities. The M.A. and Ed.S. degrees address all levels of education, and the Ed.D. and licensure programs prepare individuals for future careers in P-12 education.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us using the link “Contact Us” on the left side of your screen."
