The UEDP doctoral preliminary examination includes a section covering the student's Administrative Leadership and Supervision specialization. A dissertation with the appropriate area of emphasis is required. The dissertation adviser is an Urban Education doctoral adviser and a member of the Department of Administrative Leadership. At least two other committee members must be from the Department of Administrative Leadership. Exit Requirements Contingent upon completion of program requirements, the doctoral preliminary examination, and successful defense of the dissertation, the Chair of the Department of Administrative Leadership must give final approval for the inclusion of "Urban Education: Administrative Leadership and Supervision" on the student's transcript. II. Summary of Proposed Changes The department requests that the program area emphasis in Adult Education and the program area emphasis in Educational Administration within the doctoral specialization in Administrative Leadership & Supervision be recognized as separate specializations and be designated as such on students' transcripts upon completion of their doctoral programs. III. Justification The Department of Administrative Leadership is increasing its efforts to attract students to our doctoral program on a national level. A by-product of attracting students from outof-state or outside the immediate Milwaukee metropolitan area is presumed to be an increase in the number of full-time doctoral students. These specializations would increase the visibility of our program and assist with our marketing strategies. It is difficult for students who are seeking program opportunity information to discover the program as it currently exists under the broader and more ambiguous title of Administrative Leadership. These specialization distinctions would identify our program within the recognized discipline bases of Educational Administration and Adult and

4 Graduate Faculty Council Doc. No. 871 p. 4 Approved November 19, 2001 Continuing Education Leadership. Further, the availability of specializations in Educational Administration and Adult and Continuing Education Leadership with an urban program focus responds to national needs and interest in these areas. Secondly, students who complete our program would be advantaged in the marketplace if they received transcript designations of Educational Administration or Adult and Continuing Education Leadership. Such a designation conveys a stronger content and discipline base than the broad title currently used. Finally, there is demand for both programs on a national and regional scale. Other colleges and universities within the Milwaukee area are responding to these needs and are enhancing or developing doctoral programs within Educational Administration and Adult and Continuing Education Leadership. Each program emphasis currently requires a minimum of 30 credits of advanced graduate coursework and conforms to the general requirements pertaining to specializations. Each individual program area emphasis has been previously approved by the UEDC and the Graduate School. IV. Proposed Graduate School Bulletin Copy For the Administrative Leadership section: PH.D.
