Educational Leadership Program Information Sessions
Virtual Information Sessions
The UCLA Educational Leadership Program (ELP) information sessions are a great opportunity to get to know the program in detail. Alumni from past cohorts share their experiences and answer questions from potential applicants. We also discuss minimum admissions requirements and the application process, as well as provide a program overview, including tuition/fees and ELP scholarships.
