The Doctorate in Educational Administration
The Schedule


The Ed.D. Degree is a 66-credit program with coursework taught over two years (six semesters) and dissertation completion in the third year (three semesters). Courses occur in four terms per year: in the fall, spring, June, and July. The members of the cohort remain together for the duration of the program.

Each course is taught by a professor who is an experienced practitioner and who will provide the cohort members with a balance of sound theory and practical application.

Discussion of research topics begins immediately with dissertation topics identified by the end of the first 12 courses. In support of a fast start on the dissertation, each candidate is assigned to a doctoral committee and a chairperson who acts as adviser/mentor in the fifth semester.

Approximately twelve to fifteen candidates are admitted as a cohort annually after careful screening of application documents and a personal interview with the selection committee. This cohort remains together for the duration of the program. A collegial study environment allows ample opportunity for professional sharing and cooperative activity. Campus seminars, study teams and computer conferencing among the members and with the instructors further this goal. There are two sequential course patterns which students may choose from to follow in the Ed.D. Program: The Executive Concentrated Cohort or The Weekend Cohort.
