Welcome

to the website of the Educational Leadership Department in the College of Education at San Diego State University.

Our motto, “Learn, Lead, Transform,” represents our commitment to lifelong learning, leadership with purpose, and the transformation of schools in this 21st century. We are proud of our strong traditions in leadership development and invite you to learn more about our administrative credential, masters, and doctoral programs. Our graduate and doctoral programs prepare leaders for the complex challenges facing schools and organizations, accommodate the schedules of working professionals, and provide the opportunity to learn within a collaborative learning environment.

Our faculty represents a diverse team of notable educators with impressive records of scholarly work in research and leadership development in the PK-12 learning community. They join me in striving for excellence and modeling the skills and dispositions that transform educators into exceptional leaders.

We invite you to explore our web site and learn more about our programs and services. We encourage you to contact us for any questions you may have, and thank you, in advance, for your interest in our university.
