Information Sessions: Fall Admission Cycle 

We highly recommend that anyone interested in our Ed.D. program attend one of our virtual information sessions. All sessions, see dates below, are hosted live by faculty. 

Please sign-up at least 24 hours in advance using the link for the Registration Form, located next to each info session date. Additionally, please make sure that you include an active email address during the sign-up process, under that field - that is how we send out the Zoom links prior to the session(s) and will not be able to reach you if one is not provided.  Zoom link and password will be emailed to registered participants prior to the session start.

The Fall 2026 admission cycle is OPEN!
