Bay Path’s EdD in Higher Education Leadership & Organizational Studies is on the forefront of the study of higher education. In an era of heightened disruption and revolutionary challenges, many higher education experts have called for a new kind of leadership. The program meets this need by teaching students how to re-imagine institutions, make tough decisions, re-examine whether old ways of doing business are still relevant and adopt an opportunity rather than a scarcity mindset.

Graduates of this program gain the knowledge and skills needed to:

• Transition institutions into highly adaptive, innovative, and resilient organizations
• Leverage personal and organizational strengths and capacity to create impactful and enduring success
• Improve higher education practices throughout local, state, national, and international arenas
• Advance in the field of higher education management
