Higher Education Administration: The higher education administration concentration provides an opportunity for experienced higher education professionals to expand their previous understanding of practices within all sectors of postsecondary education.* Please note, international students enrolling in the online EdD program will be provided with an option to complete the residency through online participation in interactive sessions with fellow scholars offered during the residency period. This offers the chance to connect in person with faculty and fellow scholars to share knowledge and experiences.
Students attend residency in their first and second years in the program at one of our campuses in Boston, MA, Charlotte, NC, or Seattle, WA. While all EdD courses can be completed online (except for hybrid courses in Seattle and Charlotte), two-day residencies occur each year designed for networking and career success. They’re gaining a practical education that translates to their everyday working environment. Our students come from diverse disciplines and professions seeking more than just a degree. Students begin working on their dissertation in practice at the onset of their coursework by identifying their problem of practice and developing an action plan-incorporating cycles of data collection and analysis, collaboration, change work, and reflection-culminating in the dissemination of their action research findings. The program is designed to be completed in three to four years of study, following a fast-paced quarter system rather than the traditional semester schedule, and offers five concentrations to create a personalized curriculum. The Doctor of Education program provides experienced adult learners, working professionals, and scholar-practitioners from various backgrounds and perspectives with the practical knowledge and experience they need to develop and conduct research to investigate, explore, and transform their organizational and institutional landscapes.
