Boiling Springs, NC – May 30th, 2024 – Gardner-Webb University is excited to announce the launch of a new hybrid format for its Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction program.
Starting August 2024, this hybrid format will provide doctoral candidates located in South Carolina the convenience of taking an online program while maintaining the rigorous standards as well as personalized connection and support that comes with a degree earned through Gardner-Webb University. Key features of the program format include:
- Convenience of online coursework, with minimal face to face requirements
- Average completion time of three to four years (Coursework completed in two years, most students complete dissertation work in year three)
- Robust dissertation support beginning in the first semester, ensuring candidates are fully prepared for dissertation proposal and defense
- An inspiring two-day Leadership Conference at the end of the program
“We recognize the challenges educators face in today’s time to pursue an advanced degree while managing their professional and personal lives. Launching this format allows us to reach prospective candidates who are much further from our campuses, while maintaining our commitment to providing our students with the highest level of support and academic excellence, which are crucial for the success of earning a Doctoral degree.”- Jennifer Putnam- Associate Dean, College of Education
The first cohort to pilot this format will begin in August 2024, and there is still time to enroll. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact our Graduate Information Team at (704) 325-2527 or via email at kcreamer@graduateprogram.org
