Just updating that beginning with Fall 2025, this program is just Ph.D. in Change Leadership. They are dropping the 'in Equity and Inclusion' in the name but state they are still committed to incorporating it in coursework.
I just got the email today about it.

University of Central Arkansas, is a public/state research institution, I would go for these type of institutions over any for-profit. I've been recommending non-profit over the for-profits, unless of course, there is some specific degree that's not offered at any public or non-profit institution for affordable tuition rates...

Interesting. I know one or two folks on here were concerned about the DEI element in the name potentially generating some side-eye given the political climate.

And here I am a little let down that the "Equity and Inclusion" is dropped. It was precisely the degree I was seeking with that intersection of it and change leadership. To each their own, I suppose.

I bet you can still use the old name of it on your resume if you want.

So for folks not interested in community activism or who aren't in education, how friendly is the curriculum? I'm honestly surprised there isn't a "general leadership" track.

I'm in my 5th semester and have done 14 classes so far. The curriculum is very focused on leadership broadly however, to be accepted into the program I do believe you must be aligned with one of the tracks.

UCA (University of Central Arkansas) Ph.D. Change Leadership for Equity and Inclusion
