Doctoral Degree Programs
Education: Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Instructional Leadership
The Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership program develops leaders capable of generating new knowledge and responsibly applying knowledge to achieve organizational outcomes. Students will study the major bodies of literature in leadership, will reflect critically on existing theory, and will identify appropriate applications of theory in educational, business, and other organizational environments. Students will develop academic and organizational research expertise through the study of statistics and research methodology.
The Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Instructional Leadership program is designed for students interested in the Pre-K-12 arena. This program is focused on addressing real-world challenges and opportunities facing school leaders in the 21st century and is designed to develop the skills required to translate theory into effective, innovative leadership practices and to sustain continuous school improvement measures. The program is aligned with the standards of the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC). Students who choose this specialization include those pursuing leadership positions such as principal, director, or superintendent at the district level. The course work covers such topics as finance, human resources, operations, change management, decision making, curriculum and instruction improvement processes, cultural competency, and advocacy. The specialization is designed to be completed within three years, with all courses taken in sequence, allowing students to learn and build professional relationships with the same cohort of colleagues. Students also have the opportunity to develop an applied research project (dissertation) that contributes to the solution of a recognized problem in the field.

"This was a wonderful program for me and a great opportunity. I am not so computer savvy and the online program is fabulous, and the mentors and teachers are so incredibly helpful. I am so fabulously blessed."
- Evia Michelle Dyer-Lewis,
Kindergarten Teacher
"Before this opportunity I had no way of affording going back to school. At my age I always wanted to continue my education, so I waited until my kids finished school. Now it was my turn and this opportunity was great timing. Thank you."
- Joseph Seahorn,
Athletic Director/Teacher
"I always wanted to go back to school and get my Masters, I just didn't know how until during a professional development session. Mind Streams did a presentation for our school. I joined later on that year. I had lots of questions when I first started and a representative was more than helpful during the whole process. I still call him when I have questions. Other members of Mind Streams have also called to check on me. They are all great, friendly and very helpful."

"This has been a wonderful experience. I love that I can travel around the U.S. with my laptop to be in touch with my classmates and perform all my classes properly. It is a really good opportunity to finish a Masters Degree program."
- Elizabeth Ortiz,

"My experience with Mind Streams and the University was positive from the beginning. I believe Mind Streams really puts the individual first. They had the patience to help me work out a solution to further my education and realize my dream of graduating with a Masters, while my son graduates from high school in 07."
- Debbie Blair,
Special Education Teacher
"I'm overwhelmed with the opportunity to continue my education. At one point in my life I felt as if there was no hope for me to go back to school. My co-worker introduced me to this program and I can't thank her enough. I'm learning new things and new people, all at the same time. This program is so convenient for me and my kids. I can be a full time mother and get my education too."
- Consuela Mayfield
"I entered the program unsure of myself because it has been 22 years since I have studied in university. So, I didn't know how I was going to update myself with the website programs after all this time. But I already have 15 hours with excellence in all my courses and every time I enter a new course I feel more confident in myself. I love the online program."
- Evelyn Quinones,
Bilingual Teacher
"I am so thankful for Nicole from Mind Streams encouragement and assistance. I might have quit before I began and on into my first class if not for her encouragement."
