Schedule
Our EdD program is designed for flexibility and accessibility with a low-residency, blended format. Students attend three 4-day residencies over the course of the program while completing the majority of their coursework online. International cohorts launch in the fall and spring semesters, while U.S. cohorts begin in the summer. Program start dates are based on the chosen residency location, offering you the freedom to select the time and location that best fit your schedule. Achieve your doctoral goals with a program built for busy professionals!
Residency
Three residencies throughout the program offer an authentic, face-to-face learning experience where students meet their cohort and the doctoral faculty. These intensive and meaningful four days of class allow students to form close connections with peers while deeply engaging in course content. Current annual domestic residencies are held in Pennsylvania on the Wilkes University campus in July. International residencies take place in India, Saudi Auabia and in Dubai, U.A.E. in the Spring semester. Prior students describe residency as one of the most valuable parts of their program.
