Online Ed.D. Program Additional Admissions Information

Additional information on the admissions process is available at the School of Teaching and Learning admissions page. Applicants should also please read the Online Ed.D. Program FAQs carefully before applying.

If you have questions about the admissions process, please contact GradAdmissions@coe.ufl.edu. If you have questions about the program, please contact Dr. Kumar at edtechedd@coe.ufl.edu.

Credit Transfers

The online Ed.D. program requires an earned Master’s degree. It is possible to transfer up to 30 credit hours from your Master’s program, depending on multiple factors.

Students typically transfer 25-30 credits from their Masters degree, complete 54 required Ed.D. credits and take additional electives to complete the minimum 90 credits needed to graduate from the program. Transfer approvals are based on many factors and are made at the university level so we cannot tell prospective students how many credits will transfer.

Transfer credit requests are submitted during students’ first semester in the program and are handled by the Graduate School after students have registered in the program. Once enrolled, your advisor will guide you through the credit transfer process. No questions about transfer credit can be addressed until after a student has begun the program.

For more information, please read the University of Florida policy on transfer of credit.

Tuition and Fees

A primary concern for working professionals studying part-time is the tuition cost of an advanced degree. Completely online students who take no face-to-face courses receive an out-of-state fee waiver, therefore our costs are very reasonable.

For more information on the graduate cost of attendance, please view the most recent graduate tuition costs and distance learning fees at the College of Education Online Tuition and Fees page.  This information may also be found on the UF Bursar’s website.

Students take a minimum of 60 credits (depending on credits transferred from the Masters degree) to complete the program.

Scholarships

Scholarships

The College of Education awards scholarships to graduate and undergraduate students through an annual scholarship process. For more information on current scholarships, please visit the college student affairs scholarship website.
