General Information section of

The Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development is a leader in advancing knowledge about educational and organizational change in local, national, and international contexts. The department's research, teaching, and outreach reflect a commitment to interdisciplinary and intercultural engagement with educators, scholars, and policy makers seeking to enhance leadership, policy, and development around the globe.
Students in the M.A. and Ph.D. programs choose from one of five complementary but distinct program tracks: educational administration (EdAd), evaluation studies (ES), higher education (HiEd), comparative and international development education (CIDE), and work and human resource education (WHRE). Undergraduate programs focus on human resource development and business and marketing education. In addition, the department offers a variety of programs for practicing professionals and various licensure programs.
The program offers specializations in adult education; agricultural, food, and environmental education; human resource development; and comprehensive work and human resources education. The business and industry education specialization is no longer taking new students.
Students combine study and related experiences to develop, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate knowledge of the purposes, practices, issues, and problems of work and community education; social, economic, historical, political, cultural, educational, technological, and psychological contexts within which work and community education exist; and types of research that contribute to or apply that knowledge to the specialization.
