PROGRAM OF STUDY

The Doctor of Education program begins fall 2003. Students should contact the Ed.D. Program Office for current status. The program consists of 72 quarter units (minimum) of coursework, field-based research, practica, summer institutes, and dissertation research and writing. Because the program is time delimited (expected completion within 36-42 months) there are no electives offered in the program. Students are expected to enroll in a minimum of 12 consecutive quarters (fall, winter, spring, summer) and satisfy all requirements for the degree in no more than four years plus two additional quarters.

Students enroll at UCSB, and classes are offered at both campuses. First- year courses are offered at the UCSB campus, second-year seminars and practica are offered at the Cal Poly campus, and third-year seminars are offered at both campuses and selected field locations. Students are required to participate in ongoing research projects in various K-14 Professional Development Districts and attend two summer institutes/sessions on the UCSB and Cal Poly campuses during the course of the program.

Detailed information about program coursework and requirements are available at the Program in Education Office at UCSB or the Ed. D. Program Office at Cal Poly.
