Strategic Leadership in Education is a multi-disciplinary, applied, research-based PhD program for practicing leaders in education working in the P12, higher education, government or nonprofit fields. Unlike most programs in the nation, Belmont’s SLE PhD will prepare and equip students for success as both senior leaders in education-oriented organizations and as scholars in the field of the educational leadership.
The program is intentionally designed as multi-disciplinary with core courses and concentrations coming from the College of Education, the College of Business & the College of Theology & Christian Ministry. Concentrations are available in areas including educational leadership, management and entrepreneurship and Christian leadership and ethics.
The program can be completed part time within 4 years. It requires 60 hours of credit which may include up to 12 credit hours of approved previous graduate credit. The completed dissertation receives 9 hours of credit. Courses are offered in a hybrid or synchronous online format.
