The department of educational leadership and policy analysis has as its primary purpose the graduate preparation of individuals who will serve as educational leaders in K-12 schools, community/technical colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and other organizations/agencies that offer educational programs and services. Programs in the department are approved by the Tennessee department of education. Student programs are designed to develop educational leaders through the study and practical application of educational foundations, theory, research, and field work.
Together with the department of counseling and human services, the department of educational leadership and policy analysis offers an educational specialist (Ed.S.)

This 31 credit program is designed to provide advanced, post-master’s training in counseling and consultation as well as leadership skills that will provide updated, evidence-based, knowledge and skills and prepare professionals for administrative positions within various school systems and community agencies. The program is delivered through a cohort model with online coursework.
