One Doctorate—Two Distinct Programs of Study
The Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership offers two very distinct programs of study.
To be admitted for the Plan A (Certification Option), the Program in Educational Administration and Policy must have a formal signed partnership agreement with the applicant’s school system, and a letter of recommendation from a system-level administrator that expresses support for the candidate to participate in the Performance-based Program of Study (Plan A). If you have questions about whether your school system has a partnership agreement with the UGA Program in Educational Administration and Policy, please contact the Department Head at leapinfo@uga.edu
As default, all applicants are admitted to Plan B (non-certification option) until such time there is a partnership agreement with UGA and the school system in which an applicant works and the school system communicates its endorsement of your leadership capacity by its recommendation of you for inclusion in Plan A. To this end, applicants are encouraged to review the description of Plan A and Plan B for the Doctor of Education Degree in Educational Leadership.
Plan A contains a performance-based component and is for professionals who wish to pursue a leadership certificate while earning the Ed.D. Degree.
Plan B is for professionals who wish to earn the Ed.D. degree without the performance-based component that leads to the leadership certificate issued by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.
Prospective students are encouraged to view the new leadership certification requirements of the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.
To be able to participate in Plan A of the Ed.D. it is a requirement that
- There is a signed partnership agreement between UGA and the applicant’s employing school system; and,
- The school system provides support for the candidate to sustain the performance-based component within Plan A. This support would need to be documented in an official letter by a system-level administrator.
