Doctor of Education

Doctor of Education, 36-Hour Program of Study, Instructional Practice (IP)

Instructional Practice

The following presents a typical strategy for completing the requirements within Lincoln Memorial University’s (LMU’s) 36-Hour Doctoral Program of Study, which is designed for those candidates entering the program with an Educational Specialist (EdS) degree from Lincoln Memorial University in the concentration of Instructional Practice or Curriculum and Instruction from within the last 10 years. As the EdS hours that are being accepted for transfer will have been taken in a given concentration (CI or IP), 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 changing their EdS concentration should select the 48-hour program.
