Accredited by the NEASC, the program takes three to four years and requires the completion of several foundation courses. These include an introductory course in doctoral studies as well as a course titled “Changing Conceptions of Learning and Human Development: Research and Practice.” In addition, students must complete “Transforming Human Systems” and “Leadership Theory and Research.”
