Ed.D. Degree with Major in Teaching and Learning
The Ed.D. degree consists of a minimum of 76 credits:
- Core required courses - 37 credits (includes a minimum of 4 doctoral seminar credits)
- Supporting program - 15 credits (minimum)
- Project Credits (Educ 8888 - 24 credits)
The core requirements will be offered once every two years beginning in Fall 2007, leading to an open cohort of students progressing through the curriculum. Students will be admitted to the cohort every year, with the number of admissions in alternate years depending on the number of active students enrolled in the courses.
Core courses are delivered using a hybrid model of face-to-face and online delivery, depending on the nature of each course. The chart below illustrates the course rotation and anticipated amount of face-to-face class attendance required for each course. Class meetings will be scheduled on weekends.
