Information Session for Ed.D. Program

 


The College will hold an information session about its doctor of education degree (Ed.D.) on Monday, November 12, from 6-7 p.m. The program will take place in the Rocco A. Abessinio Building.

 

The Neumann Ed.D. program is designed to prepare educators to conduct and use research to address practical educational issues at all levels. “The degree program will give experienced educational professionals the opportunity to work on problems that are relevant to their schools,” explains Joe Gillespie, dean of the Division of Education and Human Services.

 

In addition, those who earn the Ed.D. and complete an internship will be prepared for Pennsylvania Department of Education certification in principalship. The degree is also a first step toward earning superintendent eligibility.

 

The next classes in the program begin in January 2008.

 

“The program’s point of difference,” notes Gillespie, “is that it looks beyond theory. From the very first course, students will be involved in research to address the expressed needs of local schools. Another distinguishing feature of the program is the emphasis on ethical issues that schools face on a daily basis.”

 

Graduates of the program will be prepared to implement school-based action plans, assess the needs and accomplishments of students and faculty, and participate in curriculum development and evaluation.

 

The program is open to educators in public, private, and religious-based schools. It includes a three-year course of evening study and a dissertation.
