The Joint Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership (JDPEL) is the outcome of close cooperation between key individuals from the University of California and California State University, Fresno. JDPEL admitted its first 13 students in fall 1991. The program takes three to five years to complete and was designed specifically to train future educational leaders residing in the Central San Joaquin Valley.

Two University Systems and Their Joint Commitment

Faculty selected from the six universities provide JDPEL students access to a wealth of expertise in areas related to leadership--including Educational Administration, Education, Anthropology, Sociology, Business, Psychology, Linguistics, Chicano and Latin American studies, and Economics. Some 50 specially selected faculty members work closely with the program directors to inspire student participants with new approaches to educational issues.

The Joint Doctoral Program:

offers instruction by teams of professors from California State University, Fresno and the University of California campuses at Davis, Los Angeles, Riverside, Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara,
schedules coursework in the evenings and on weekends to accommodate full-time professionals,
provides for all coursework to be completed in Fresno,
includes coursework for the California Professional Administrative Services Credential.

NOTE:

Because the Joint Doctoral Program was established to alleviate the serious needs of practicing educators in the Central San Joaquin Valley, applicants from that area are given special consideration in the application process.
