Objective
To provide an educational experience that will prepare doctoral candidates to assume leadership positions in urban school systems and other educational agencies as educational administrators and/or planners, researchers of social policy, fiscal officers, development officers, and facilities and operational analysts.
Admission to Program
Admission to the doctoral program is granted during each academic semester and is based on the following requirements:
· A master's degree from a regional accredited college or university.
· A grade point average of 3.0 or above on all previous post-baccalaureate work
· Scores on the Miller Analogies Test or the Graduate Record Examination. (Test scores may not be more than five (5) years old from the date of application to the program)
• An interview by the Doctoral Program Admissions Committee.
General Requirements
All candidates for the Ed.D. degree in Urban Educational Leadership must complete a minimum of sixty-six (66) credit hours at Morgan State after admission to the program. Doctoral candidates will select a specialization in Educational Planning and Administration, or Administration and Social Policy. Each candidate will develop an individual program of study in consultation with an assigned faculty adviser.
All candidates must pass a written comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination may be repeated once. To be eligible to sit for the comprehensives, the candidate must have completed a minimum of 42 credit hours, must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0, and must have removed any "I" or "F" grades.
Each Ed.D. degree candidate must submit a dissertation. When the dissertation has been completed to the satisfaction of the Dissertation Committee, a dissertation defense will be scheduled, during which the student must orally defend his or her work before the entire Dissertation Committee, and others as determined by the Chairperson of the Department.
All requirements for the Ed.D. degree must be completed within a period of seven consecutive years. The granting of a leave of absence by the School of Graduate Studies does not automatically extend the limit.
Residency Requirements
Part-time candidates for the Ed.D. degree will satisfy residency requirements by completing 18 credit hours over a period of three consecutive semesters. Full-time doctoral candidates must complete two consecutive semesters, carrying 9 credit hours each semester, in order to satisfy the residency requirements. Upon completion of the course requirements and the comprehensive examination, the candidate must continue to register for "Dissertation Guidance (EDUC 997)" each semester until the dissertation has been successfully defended.
