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!
Information Sessions
The program faculty and staff will host two inforamtion sessions in the Fall of 2010. Interested candidates are encouraged to attend one of the sessions for a general overview of the program and a Q & A session. Light refreshments will be served.

The Format
The program includes two and a half years of coursework, delivered in summer sessions, weekends, and distance formats, as well as applied dissertation research. The three week summer sessions are provided at W&M's campus in Williamsburg during years one and two.
During the Fall and Spring semester, students will attend courses over 4 weekends per semester - 2 weekends per course. Courses begin on Saturday morning and run through Sunday afternoon.
Fall and spring courses utilize both the Williamsburg and Washington DC campuses and include additional online or distance modules for each course.
The Dissertation
A practitioner dissertation model integrates dissertation content and preparation into regular course delivery throughout the program to allow completion of the degree in less than three years.
