The mission of the Higher Education Doctoral Program (EdD/PhD) at UMass Boston is to develop scholar-practitioners who can, through their research and leadership practice, bring about changes in colleges and universities that advance equity and social justice. Founded in 1993, the program is one of the largest doctoral programs at UMass Boston. It is distinguished by six defining characteristics. The Higher Education Doctoral Program focuses on issues of concern to leaders in all types of higher education institutions, including community colleges and four-year institutions, both public and private. The curriculum covers topics such as organization and leadership, teaching and learning, college student development, diversity, public policy, institutional change, college access, equity, globalization, finance, and community engagement.
