The Department of Educational Leadership offers no undergraduate degrees. The department offers a foundational component for undergraduate students seeking degrees or certification in various programs within the College Education and Human Ecology. These foundations include instructional technology, measurement, research, and the historical, philosophical, social, behavioral, and developmental bases for learning and instruction. Understanding the diverse needs and characteristics of various populations is also basic to the foundations of education and is reflected in the undergraduate sequences of this department as well as in the graduate programs.
