Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Educational Leadership Doctoral Certificate

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Educational Leadership Doctoral Certificate is housed in the Interdisciplinary Doctor of Education Program for Educational Leaders (IDEPEL) and Healthcare Education programs. This certificate prepares leaders across K-12 schools, colleges and universities, social sector fields (e.g., healthcare, organizations, educational non-profits, government), and healthcare education to engage in culturally relevant ways and to help others' learning and interactions in diverse contexts.

There are two options for obtaining the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Educational Leadership Doctoral Certificate:

1. Students pursuing the IDEPEL/Healthcare Education EdD will take four of the required courses during pursuit of the EdD and the remaining two stand-alone courses after taking the first four courses. Students will need to declare the certificate in order to receive it upon completion of the EdD.
2. Students complete all six-course (18 credits) for the certificate, with or without the option to count four specified courses from the doctoral curriculum toward future EdD degree completion.
