Education Program Description
The Department of Advanced Studies, Leadership, and Policy is proposing a new Doctor of Philosophy in Education with a concentration in Higher Education with a focus on preparing individuals for careers in academia, research, and policy centers, as well as for high-level administration and research positions at educational institutions and agencies. This concentration will replace our current Ph.D. in higher education and has <br>been modified to incorporate the elimination of educational disparities as a major focus of the program. This concentration will also require fewer credits than the current program and offer two delivery formats: a high residency option with full in-person learning and a low residency program with online synchronous coursework and on- campus residencies in January and July.
