The online Ed.D. in Educational Technology takes a minimum of 3 years to complete. Students have to complete a minimum of 90 hours beyond their bachelor’s degree to graduate with their doctoral degree. The minimum required credits to be completed with the online cohort are 54 credits, in addition to which students choose electives and transfer credits from their Masters degree. Students take 6 credits with their cohort each semester (Fall, Spring and Summer). This includes online courses and seminars, and online synchronous sessions. Degree completion depends on the student’s ability to complete program requirements to a level commensurate with doctoral level work.
