Doctor of Executive Leadership

What is Executive Leadership?

For more than a decade, Mountain State University's Charles H. Polk School of Leadership and Professional Development has been educating leaders through our bachelor's and master's degree programs. We are pleased to add our new Doctor of Executive Leadership degree to this list. A doctorate represents the highest level of scholarship and academic achievement. Our doctoral program is rigorous, accessible, and affordable. You can review the requirements here.

Through this program, we are training individuals to become scholar-practitioners and stewards of the discipline of leadership. Our goal is to train individuals to generate, conserve, and transform the study of leadership.

Generate Knowledge

Scholar-practitioners master the art and tools of research, exploring core leadership competencies. Armed with a thorough understanding of existing leadership theories and practice, students will create new thoughts, ideas, and theories to add to the body of knowledge.

Conserve Knowledge

Scholar-practitioners consider critical theories of leadership to identify the most useful ones to their setting and organization, analyzing and applying ideas to real life situations. Using and teaching these best practices insures the conservation of knowledge.

Transform Knowledge

Scholar-practitioners use skillful written and verbal communication to display competence as leaders, sharing their knowledge in a variety of settings through continued research, writing, teaching, and consulting.
