Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education Leadership, Management and Policy

The Ph.D. in Higher Education Leadership, Management and Policy offers a concentration in Higher Education Research, Assessment, and Program Evaluation. This concentration is intended to meet the burgeoning demands for professional staff and leaders in educational organizations focused on data-driven decision making, program evaluation, assessment and testing, and teacher or faculty pedagogical development. Courses generally meet once a week in the evening. Study is available on a full- or part-time basis for either focus. The small size of the Ph.D. program at Seton Hall University allows for frequent faculty interaction and close work with your adviser. We are committed to maintaining a small, selective and focused program that will prepare our graduates to pursue a range of possible careers.
