Welcome to the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis (ELPA) web site. This site provides information about graduate programs of study, course descriptions, members of the faculty, news and events, and access to ELPA departmental resources.

The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis has as its primary purpose the graduate preparation of individuals who will serve as educational leaders in K-12 schools, community/technical colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and other organizations/agencies that offer educational programs and services. The Tennessee Department of Education approves programs in the department. The National Council also approves programs leading to licensure for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Student programs are individually designed to develop educational leaders through the study and practical application of educational foundations, theory, research, and field work.

Please take the opportunity to visit our web page frequently. We will do our best to update it with information that may be useful to you.
