Describes the newly established California State University, Fresno
and University of California, Davis, joint doctoral programme in
educational leadership which prepares students to conduct and interpret
enquiries for which sound educational policy and practice are anchored.
The unique features of this programme are: (1) an intercampus
“graduate group” of faculty that offers group membership to
qualified faculty from several campuses of the University of California
and California State University, Fresno. Graduate groups follow the
University of California tradition of faculty governance in matters of
group membership, student admission and curriculum; (2) no other joint
doctorates in the state of California are multi‐campus; (3) the planners
of this doctoral programme recognized that admitted students would
probably be full‐time employed, experienced leaders. This programme
requires the employers of applicants to commit to release time as a
condition of admission; and (4) all core courses are co‐written and
co‐taught by UC and CSU, Fresno faculty. Notes the benefits of this
programme to the institutions, faculty and students.
