The Doctorate in Leadership for the Advancement of Learning and Service provides advanced study in leadership that prepares graduates to make significant contributions to their organizations and communities.
A new cohort starts once a year in June. The program starts with a two-week, all-day Summer Institute, which is held at Stritch's main campus in Milwaukee. Upon completion of the Institute classes meet one weekend per month at the Cardinal Stritch University City Center in Milwaukee: Fridays 4-8p.m., Saturdays 8-4p.m., and Sundays 12-4p.m.
The program is designed for professions with present or emerging leadership responsibilities in a variety of learning communities: universities, colleges, business and industry, health care institutions, community organizations, social services, unions, libraries, government agencies, vocational education, staff training programs, consulting organizations, international agencies, as well as K-12 public, private and parochial schools.
Participants share a common interest in leadership and may use their own work sites as a focus of graduate study. In essence, the program is designed to facilitate the development of effective leaders across a broad community.
The Doctorate in Leadership for the Advancement of Learning and Service is a natural extension of Stritch’s commitment to live and promote the Franciscan values of peacemaking, community, caring and hospitality.
More specifically, the program involves the entire Stritch community in preparing men and women with leadership skills, cutting-edge knowledge and community-based opportunities to exercise responsible leadership in their organizations and communities.
