Higher Education Leadership Concentration - Online or Blended Format

The online graduate programs offered by Edgewood College duplicate the high quality academic experience and student services enjoyed by students in our traditional classroom programs. Students in the Ed.D. program progress through the course sequence as a cohort, learning from each other and developing a strong professional bond that continues after graduation.

The course sequence and learning outcomes for the online program mirror the traditional classroom experience offered in Madison and Wausau. Our faculty specialize in creating an engaged academic community in an online setting.

Students in the online Ed.D. program will meet together three times during the course of the three-year program, once each calendar year. These meetings will be limited to a single day, 9:00AM – 3:00PM, and will take place at the Edgewood College Deming Way Campus in Madison, Wisconsin. No additional travel will be required during the course of the program unless those meetings are arranged between individual instructors and students.

Classes for the next Higher Education Leadership online cohort begin in May, 2013. Applications are now being accepted. The application deadline is March 31, 2013.
