Doctor of Education, 36-Hour Program of Study Instructional Leadership (IL)

Instructional Leadership

The following presents a typical strategy for completing the requirements within Lincoln Memorial University’s 36-hour Doctoral Program of Studies, which is designed for those candidates entering the program with an Educational Specialist degree from Lincoln Memorial University in the concentration of Instructional Leadership. As the EdS hours that are being accepted for transfer will have been taken in a given concentration (IL), doctoral degree work must be in this same area of study. This plan reflects the required core, research, and primary concentration coursework. Any candidate interested in two concentrations or in changing from their EdS concentration should select the 48-hour program.
