To help college and university leaders understand higher education\u2019s role in the world and how they can create a common purpose in their community, BU Wheelock recently launched a new program, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/wheelock\/degree-program\/educational-leadership-policy-studies\/executive-edd-in-higher-education-leadership\/\">executive EdD in higher education leadership<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe executive EdD is a program for practitioners who need to know how to do their jobs better tomorrow, next week, or next year,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/wheelock\/profile\/sherri-hughes\/\">Sherri Hughes<\/a>, director of the program. We spoke to her to learn more about what students can expect from this program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a news-block-editorial-q-and-a\"><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-title\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-title-heading\">Q<span>&amp;<\/span>A<\/h2><h4 class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-title-subheading\">with Sherri Lind Hughes<\/h4><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-question\"><span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-name\">BU Wheelock:<\/span> <span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-content\">What need does the executive EdD in higher education leadership fulfill and how does it address current trends in the field?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-answer\"><span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-name\">Sherri Hughes:<\/span> <span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-content\">The complex challenges facing higher education require systemic change and multifaceted agile solutions.

It is particularly helpful to leaders who work in areas that are remote or far from an institution offering doctoral degrees.

They will also be expected to select projects and assignments that will help them apply what they are learning to advance their institutions or address current challenges. <br><br>The program culminates with a capstone project focused on a current problem of practice within higher education. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of the problem, explore the research, theory, and best practices that can be applied, use data-informed decision-making to design interventions or solutions, and identify and apply the metrics of success.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-question\"><span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-name\">BU Wheelock:<\/span> <span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-content\">How will this program help students advance their professional\/personal goals?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-answer\"><span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-name\">Sherri Hughes:<\/span> <span class=\"wp-block-editorial-q-and-a-content\">Students will have the opportunity to continually assess their knowledge, skills, and experiences, and select the learning opportunities that will allow them to grow in areas that are critical to their success.
