How long does it take to complete the program?

The Ed.D. degree is a 66-hour program. It is designed for working practitioners and can be completed without interrupting your career. Typically, students complete the degree in four to six years, taking four or five courses per year. The maximum time limit is six years from the start of the first course or two years from candidacy (dissertation stage), whichever comes first. In extenuating circumstances, a two-year extension may be considered.
