Doctorate in Higher Education and
Organizational Change (Ed.D.)
Higher Education today faces a daunting set of challenges. Funding
shortfalls, new government mandates, rising health care costs,
labor-management issues, emerging technologies, changing student
demographics – all these and more test the mettle of college
and university administrators. Benedictine University’s new
and unique Ed.D. degree in Higher Education and Organizational
Change equips administrators with the skills needed to play a
leadership role in this complex new higher education environment.
The mission of the doctoral program in higher education and organizational
change is to prepare highly qualified graduates with the knowledge
and skills that enable them to guide, influence and shape postsecondary
institutions and to enhance the effectiveness of complex organizations
through leadership, scholarship and service.
The Ed.D. program develops and strengthens the individual’s
capacities for and an understanding of the key elements which
characterize successful and productive leaders. Graduates can
pursue positions in higher education, in institutional research
and/or teaching. The program places special emphasis on leadership
development, technology, critical inquiry, thinking and analysis,
self-reflection and educational and organizational development.
Students complete coursework that prepares them for the rigors
and challenges of developing and implementing strategically-focused
projects, managing personnel, implementing policy and orchestrating
change within an organization.
