The Joint Doctoral Program (JDPEL)

The University of California Educational Research Center (UCERC) was established in 1994 to support educational research and development activities in the San Joaquin Valley region and to act as a complement to the University of California, Davis/California State University, Fresno Joint Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership.

The Joint Doctoral Program--a collaboration between the University of California and CSU Fresno--is the only public doctoral program in the San Joaquin Valley. JDPEL students and graduates form a diverse network of professional educators that serve as a dynamic intellectual resource for the San Joaquin Valley.
