Executive Ed.D. in K-12 Administration & Supervision
The new Executive Ed.D. in K-12 Administration offers an alternative to the traditional delivery model for the doctorate degree without sacrificing the quality education historically associated with The College of William and Mary. Courses are taught primarily by regular School of Education faculty members, in a format that better meets the needs of working practitioners. This format allows students to earn their Ed.D. degree in two and a half years! The program is designed for educators with Master's Degrees and currently in administrative roles.
