The Ed.D. in Assessment,
Learning, and Student Success is a doctoral program capitalizing on faculty
expertise in the College of Education and across the University. The program
provides a structured curriculum with early development and ongoing support for
students as they work to complete their doctoral dissertations. The Ed.D. in
Assessment, Learning, and Student Success has two concentrations: School
Improvement and Higher Education. The K12 concentration offers research-based
knowledge, analytical skills, and practical application to enhance student
learning, increase assessment scores, and improve schools. This is not a
program you learn about now and do someday; in the ALSS program's K-12
concentration, you will integrate your learning directly into your setting in a
job-embedded professional development approach. Educators who want to make an
immediate difference in the lives of K-12 students are attracted to the program
and the opportunity to participate in projects that result in direct improvements.
The cohort-based doctoral program provides a structured curriculum that
considers that most students are employed during their studies.
