Doctor of Education, Instructional Leadership Concentration: 63-Hour Program of Study

The following presents a typical strategy for completing the requirements within Lincoln Memorial University’s 63-hour Doctoral Program of Studies, which is designed for those candidates entering the program with a master’s degree in education. This plan should be used in conjunction with the LMU’s Graduate Catalog, and with advice from the LMU EdD Program Director. Courses on the plan may be scheduled during terms other those indicated – the depiction below is only a representation of one possible design. This plan reflects required core, research, and primary concentration coursework.

Note: It is the recommendation of the School of Education for individuals with a master’s degree in education to first enroll in the EdS program. Then, once the student graduates from the EdS program, those 30 hours can be transferred to the EdD program, and students would enroll in the 36-hour bridge EdD program. This is both a cost and time savings.
