Doctorate in School Improvement
Welcome from Dr. Andy Nixon, Director
Our Ed.D. program in School Improvement offers a unique opportunity for educators looking for an interdisciplinary, inquiry-based doctoral program that prepares graduates to become change agents in the schools they serve. Please review the information provided on this website, and contact us for additional information.
Our program has served students for 11 years as a face-to-face program. We have undertaken a new direction, as we have transformed the program to a "hybrid" model, with 100% of our coursework being delivered online. This new version of our highly-successful program began with our Summer 2011 Cohort.
Unique Features of the School Improvement Program
There are several uniques features of our redesigned Doctorate in School Improvement. These include the following:
- All coursework is delivered online, using a wide variety of instructional technologies.
- Our program requires very few visits to our Carrollton, GA campus. In fact, students are only required to come to campus twice during the program: (1) for an intensive 2-1/2 day Orientation during the first summer, and (2) for an intensive Dissertation Prep Seminar during the second summer.
- Our program not only prepares you for your dissertation, but also guides you through the process by incorporating it into the coursework.
- Since we have incorporated the dissertation into the second half of the coursework, the program is designed to be completed in three years.
- Our faculty are nationally recognized, committed to school improvement, and understand your needs as an adult online learner.
Welcome, Cohort 12!!
