The doctoral program is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and approved by the CSU Chancellor's office to accept doctoral candidates for the 2024-25 academic year which begins in summer 2024. The 3-year, cohort-based program is designed to meet the needs of working professionals and will prepare its graduates to assume executive leadership positions in TK-16 educational settings and related agencies such as County Offices of Education, universities, community colleges, and educational non-profits where CSUDH graduates will contribute to the work of dismantling inequities to meet the current needs of the United States educational system. The ELJ Program is designed to ensure critically conscious equity driven graduates are ready to lead in all executive settings in the field of education by bridging the divide between educational leadership practice and the rigorous acquisition and application of theory. These leaders will apply the knowledge and skills gained in the program to educational settings in the South-Central Los Angeles and South Bay region of Los Angeles County and beyond in order to transform and improve the quality of education being offered to students. The program is a high quality, high touch, academically rigorous doctoral program that addresses the following mission and vision statements:

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Doctor of Education, Educational Leadership for Justice (ELJ) Program is to equip educational leaders to champion justice and equity in all educational settings. We facilitate the development of the leaders' mindsets, moves and skills needed to:

a. examine their transformative potential and transformative actions;

b. interrogate, dismantle, and re-imagine historically oppressive systems;

c. create spaces that center on community wealth, cultural capital, and voice; and

d. ground their practice in the CSUDH Liberatory Leadership Framework.

e. design creative solutions to existing, and new, challenges in the field of education

VISION STATEMENT

We create space for actualizing liberatory leadership that is humanizing, critically conscious, and transformative. Through the use of identity, community collaboration, criticality, and system interrogation dynamics, equitable and just systems emerge.

The program philosophy is focused on utilizing a culture of care to address inequities that are pervasive in the educational system and hinder the academic success of students who are culturally and linguistically diverse, have disabilities, or are economically disadvantaged.
