Program Overview

The Executive PhD in Educational Leadership Program consists of a minimum of 60 credits – 48 course credits (16 courses) and a minimum of 12 dissertation credits.  Up to nine credits from students’ previous graduate degree programs may be transferred into the program with faculty approval.

 Courses are held over 2 ½ years primarily in live, web-based courses via video conferencing.  Students may attend classes from the convenience of their offices or homes.  On-campus classes will be required two to three times each semester, with weekend format classes two to three times each summer. 

 Course work will be targeted to fold in dissertation work throughout each semester, allowing students to complete their doctoral degrees in approximately 3 years.  Cohort students receive a discount off of the regular student tuition at the university during their cohort coursework.
