Designed for Working Professionals
The JDP is a 3-year course of study designed
to accommodate the needs of working professionals. We're
committed to helping students complete this rigorous program
in the context of their busy professional lives.
Students in the JDP are enrolled at UC Berkeley for the
entire course of study, and Spring semester classes alternate
among the partnering campuses: SFSU, CSUEB, and SJSU.
Classes meet three full days per week for six-week Summer
Sessions, with two additional weeks for completion of papers
and meetings with faculty. During Fall and Spring semesters,
classes meet every other weekend: Fridays 4:30pm - 9pm
and Saturdays 9am - 5:30pm.
In addition, all students are required to participate
in school and district-based residencies in order to undertake
job-related, problem-based research in real-world educational
settings.
Graduates will be awarded a Joint Ed.D. in Educational
Leadership from the Board of Regents of the University
of California and the Trustees of California State University.
Most will go on to work in school districts, county offices
of education, and other positions above the school site
level.
