The Higher Education Administration Program offers the EdD program via two options. One option is an EdD on our main campus offered in Tuscaloosa. This EdD degree program provides students in-person courses and opportunities to take advantage of all of the University's excellent resources, with flexible schedule options. The EdD degree provides academic preparation and professional development for those individuals who have or will assume upper-level administrative and executive roles in two- and four-year colleges and universities, state and federal post-secondary education agencies and other post-secondary education-related organizations. The curriculum is designed around the key competencies necessary to assume a leadership role, with courses in program assessment and evaluation, policy, finance, organizational change and student affairs administration.<br>The second option for an EdD within HEA is via an executive format. The Executive EdD program is designed to meet the unique needs of experienced professionals seeking a doctorate in higher education. The program helps students develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to advance in leadership positions by combining theoretically-rich studies with an applied research approach. The Executive EdD is a cohort program that allows students to build an immediate network of colleagues. Intensive coursework and a carefully-structured dissertation process allow students to complete the degree in nine semesters while maintaining their professional positions. The Executive EdD program's alternative format meets all the expectations of a rigorous higher education program, including the credit hour and degree requirements stipulated by the College of Education and the Graduate School.
