Southern is pleased to announce the launch of a degree in the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) Program, focused on Innovation in Leadership and Learning, slated to begin in fall 2026.
Designed for today’s rapidly changing world, the fully online program equips professionals with the tools and vision to lead organizations and communities with confidence.
“There is a growing demand for leaders who can navigate the complexities of educational and organizational environments,” said Corjena Cheung, Ph.D., associate vice president for academic administration and dean of graduate and professional studies. “This program uniquely combines leadership theory with innovative practices and research, preparing graduates to lead effectively.”
The scholar-practitioner program emphasizes both research and real-world practice, equipping students to make an immediate impact. Participants will benefit from interdisciplinary approaches, hands-on learning, and partnerships with varied organizations — all while advancing their careers. The degree is an excellent fit for professionals across a range of fields, including business, education, nonprofit leadership, pastoral ministry, and public service.
“We’ve heard consistent interest from professionals across the Southern Union who are eager for a doctoral program like this,” said Cheung. “Many have been anticipating this opportunity for years, and we’re thrilled to finally make it a reality.”
