"Being recognized as one of the most affordable higher education programs in the country further reinforces the commitment of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ to creating accessible programming to meet the needs of today's students," Dr. Katherine Adams, assistant professor and Ed.D. program coordinator, said.

The cross-disciplinary structure of the degree program is committed to educational equity, a deep integration of theory and policy with practice, and the cultivation of a scholarly community that supports constructive conflict, encourages novelty and creativity, and questions prevailing norms in higher education.
