Please review the information provided at our website (westga.edu/eddsi), and contact us for additional information. Our program has served students for 12 years as a face-to-face program. Beginning with summer of 2011, we transformed the program to a "hybrid" model, with 100% of our coursework being delivered online. There are several unique features of the Doctorate in School Improvement. These include the following: All coursework is delivered online, using a wide variety of instructional technologies. Students are required to come to our Carrollton, GA campus twice during the program: (1) for an intensive 2-1/2 day Orientation during the first summer, and (2) for an intensive Dissertation Prep Seminar during the second summer. Our program not only prepares you for your dissertation, but also guides you through the process by incorporating it into the coursework. Since we have incorporated the dissertation into the second half of the coursework, the program may be completed in three years. Our faculty are nationally recognized, committed to school improvement, and understand your needs as an adult online learner.
