With the demand for doctoral-level interdisciplinary leadership professionals on the rise, but no in-person programs previously available in the region, the University of Sioux Falls now offers a transformational path to growth in leadership. Professionals from a wide range of backgrounds—from industry to nonprofits, education to health care, ministry to communities and beyond—can learn from each other and from the expert guidance of USF faculty to enhance their leadership skills with a Doctorate of Leadership.

Join us for an Open House of USF Graduate Programs from 5:15-6 p.m. on Monday, November 15 in the lobby of the Cleveland Professional Development Center on USF’s campus.

The 39-month curriculum combines both on-campus and online learning, with the emphasis on once-per-week, on-campus courses. Because there is one consistent night per week in instruction, those in the program can continue working full time.

Because the dissertation is built into the program from the start, once all coursework is complete at the end of the 39 months, the dissertation will be complete as well.

The University of Sioux Falls’ Doctorate of Leadership program is the latest addition to USF’s dynamic Continuing & Professional Studies programming that includes online accelerated degree completion, business certificates, graduate business and education offerings, workshop offerings for teacher recertification, an accelerated nursing program for non-nursing bachelor’s degree holders, and more.

Enrollment for the Doctorate of Leadership program is currently open with classes scheduled to begin early June 2022. Apply today
