Abstract:

In fulfilling their gate-keeping function, doctoral programs in educational leadership must attract and graduate the most able candidates if the nation is to retain leadership status in the world economy. Success rates in the past for these goals have been at best mediocre relative to most standards of comparison.Improvements in these base rates are likely to come about only through systematic research and then through the application of this research in the actual setting. That is, data are needed that inform both attraction of and selection among potential candidates for a doctoral program in educational leadership. The focus of this chapter is on providing information bearing on the attraction and on the selection of doctoral students.
