Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Counseling Accelerated Option (ISIS code: CA9)

Once admitted into a cohort, students need to take their courses according to a specific sequence, depending on whether they start in summer of an even year (ex: 2006) or in summer of an odd year (ex: 2007):

• Sample Program: starting in summer of an even year
• Sample Program: starting in summer of an odd year

NOTE: Once accepted into a cohort, students need to maintain the pace indicated below. If unforeseen personal or professional events cause a student to require a leave of absence, the situation needs to be discussed with the advisor in order to determine whether the student needs to move to the regular Ed.D. program or whether there are better alternative solutions.
