1 2 Commitment TO YOUR GROWTH

Unrivaled Support FOR YOUR DISSERTATION

We see ourselves as partners in your career goals. At the beginning of your program you work with faculty to develop a Professional Growth Plan, an actionable vision of where you see your career in 3, 5, and 10 years. We then commence to take the steps, large and small, to implement that growth plan. We support you to publish, present, and lead in-service programs in the direction of your goals. Our students have published books and articles with faculty support. Students with no experience in public speaking have presented at state, national, and international conferences. Our students lead an Annual Girls in STEM initiative and started a Wearable Technology Users Group. Our students and faculty have designed numerous workshops for international educational leaders.

Your dissertation is the signature achievement of your doctoral education, and in our program every member of your committee is dedicated to your success. The chair and other committee members are experts in their respective fields and have been selected so you can do your best work. Every member of your committee promises to give you feedback on the chapters and drafts of your work within two weeks. Moreover, a member of your committee will never take a sabbatical during your dissertation. We also provide online tutoring for your writing and assistance from a professional proofreader for your final draft at no additional cost to you. If you are not sure how rare or important these commitments are, talk to doctoral students from other universities. The lack of support during the dissertation is a recurring problem in doctoral studies. We are dedicated to developing your talents and professional interests during your dissertation.

Fidelity TO OUR MISSION

Our program gives our students a focused and comprehensive doctoral education. Many other universities assemble doctoral programs from existing courses under the umbrella of being ‘interdisciplinary’. These other programs can be disjointed and inconsistent with poor policy implementation and confusing communication to students. Our program was developed by faculty with expertise in the field of educational technology leadership and is taught, coordinated, and supervised by that same team.
