New Online Ed.D. Launches in June

College of Saint Mary will launch an online Doctor of Education degree in June for career-driven, degree-seeking professionals. Students in the three-year program can choose from two emphases: Health Professions Education or Educational Leadership.

“The Health Professions Education track is perfect for the working healthcare professional who wants to teach in higher education or is looking to be an education director in a medical facility,” said Dr. Christine Pharr, Vice President for Academic Affairs. “Educational Leadership is designed for the professional who is eager to assume leadership in the field of education or within their business or corporation.”

Dr. Vicky Morgan is hosting virtual open houses with prospective students from across the country and is serving as interim program director pending the arrival of newly appointed programdirector Dr. Kristi Preisman. Preisman has been an associate professor at Peru State College for the past decade and will join the College of Saint Maryat the end of the academic year.

“College of Saint Mary has created a program that is affordable, is accessible and facilitates exceptional learning, all while sitting in the comfort of your own home,” said Preisman.

The Ed.D. is offered as a cohort program. All courses are online with the exception of a one-week residency requirement each summer.
