For those pursuing careers in higher education administration at senior levels, the 60-credit post-master's Ed.D. offers comprehensive exploration of administrative practices grounded in theory, research, and hands-on experience. This program enables students to align their coursework and activities with their professional aspirations. The curriculum includes essential core courses covering key knowledge areas vital for successful college and university administrators. Ed.D. candidates can concentrate their dissertation on practical, application-based research. Full-time students who establish their dissertation topic by their second year often complete the program within three to four years.
A baccalaureate (bachelor’s) degree, requiring four years of full-time study or equivalent, from a college or university holding full regional or national accreditation, is required for admission to all graduate programs. Applicants with a bachelor's degree from an institution holding only state accreditation may be granted conditional admission if their other application credentials are strong. Applicants in the last semester of a four-year undergraduate program may be granted conditional admission until such time as the baccalaureate degree has been awarded.
