With a 45-year legacy of leadership and innovation in higher education,
Union Institute and University offers undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degree programs grounded in real-life application,
designed to prepare our graduates to effect change on a regional, national, and global level. UI&U learners and alumni have been
empowering lives and communities as leaders within government, business, nonprofit management, education, the social sciences, and
the field of criminal justice, and daily reflect the university’s vision: to engage, enlighten, and empower highly motivated adults
in their pursuit of a lifetime of learning and service.
Union’s vision serves as the bedrock for each academic program, particularly the
UI&U Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies program, which has long been a hallmark of the university. With a focus on social justice
and interdisciplinary studies, the Ph.D. program draws from established academic disciplines while developing new approaches and
generating essential knowledge related to critical intellectual and social issues.
Learners enrolled in the UI&U Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies program may choose from three distinct areas of concentration:
Ethical and Creative Leadership; Public Policy and Social Change; and Humanities and Culture. Faculty members in the program’s
Ethical and Creative Leadership concentration (ECL) are deeply grounded in the established fields associated with leadership
(theories of management, organizational development and dynamics, and more) and are recognized, productive scholars in their
respective areas of academic expertise. The goal of the ECL program is to educate scholar-practitioners who engage interdisciplinary
approaches to acquire a deeply informed and integrated understanding of the practice of leadership.

Accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, Zayed University is the leading provider of education, research,
and economic development in the U.A.E. We offer undergraduate and graduate degree programs to both Emirati and international
men and women, at campuses in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
In January 2011, Zayed University was named one of the top ten places to work in the UAE. Complied by The Great Place to Work
Institute and Gulf Business magazine, the region's first ever workplace survey also ranked the university as the only government
organization to reach the top ten. This year we will open a new campus for up to 6,000 students in the new Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi.
This will be a state-of-the-art academic and research facility with scientific laboratories, classrooms, computer labs, a
library spanning over 18,000m2 , and a cafeteria as well as a sports complex and conference centre. Zayed University’s new
campus in Abu Dhabi will also play host to the Women as Global Leaders Conference from 12-15 March 2012. The conference is a
Zayed University initiative, highlighting a commitment to enlightened leadership and the advancement of women. The theme for
the 2012 conference is ‘Promoting Social Responsibility’ which aims to encourage socially responsible leaders to leave a
lasting legacy impacting the future development of communities and organizations across the world.
Education at Eastern University is predicated upon the university’s
commitment to “the integration of faith, reason, and justice.” The mission of the Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership Program
is to prepare leaders in business, educational and nonprofit sectors through interdisciplinary studies and original research
to effectively engage in the transformation of their organizations, communities and society as practitioners and scholars.
With this mission in mind, the Organizational Leadership program prepare its students to embrace the four different aspects
of the transformational leader, including: the centered leader, the servant leader, the learning leader, and the visionary leader.
In support of its mission to produce transformational leaders, the Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership is constructed to achieve the following goals:
-
Equip students to perform effective organizational analysis and acquire a systemic understanding of the internal and external dynamics of their particular professional context.
-
Foster an increasingly mature commitment to an outward-looking vision of organizational, community and societal transformation through the integration of faith, reason, and justice.
-
Train students to synthesize organization and leadership theory with the professional knowledge and competencies required for leadership within a particular sector.
-
Enable students to contribute to their respective fields through the creation and execution of a significant research project resulting in a dissertation.
-
Encourage students to initiate, lead and evaluate a significant change process within the context of their professional disciplines.
The program supports Eastern University by building upon its mission of transformational education to include a student population
that already occupies positions of influence in the organizations of our society. While Eastern will continue to teach and mold
leaders for tomorrow and the mid-level leaders of today, the Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership has been created primarily for
those who are already exercising significant leadership roles in educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, corporations,
and public sector agencies.
The Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership Program is intended for "reflective practitioners," individuals who will pursue this degree
while continuing in their current responsibilities. Potential students include managers in business, educational administrators,
nonprofit and community leaders, church and denominational leaders, adjunct faculty, and others. The delivery methodology chosen
for the program reflects the needs of these students.
