Students must select a faculty member from the minor to serve on their advisory committee
Minor qualifying exam – depends on the minor. Most do not require a minor qualifying exam
Current minor areas available (within SOE):
Learning Sciences
LCLE
Adult Education (this is the preferred minor)
Educational Leadership
Special Education

8. Residency Requirements
All EdD students must attend a MINIMUM of ONE IST conference
But we’d love you to come to more!
All EdD students must complete qualifying exam on campus
All EdD students must complete dissertation defense on campus

9. Credit Transfer Process/Revalidation
Up to 18 graduate credits (beyond initial Masters degree) may be transferred into program
THIS WILL USUALLY NOT BE POSSIBLE
IST type courses will be the easiest to transfer
Transfer courses must be at graduate level
Courses receiving a grade below a B cannot be transferred
“Independent study” or “Thesis” credits cannot be transferred
Students must have completed transfer courses a minimum of seven years prior to the date they are admitted to candidacy, or revalidation of the course is required
Common ways to revalidate a course:
Successfully competing a more advanced course
Teaching/team teaching the course or a similar course
Completing a project that demonstrates knowledge of the course content
Demonstrated work experience related to course content

11. Important Tips!
PLEASE consult with your academic advisor before registering for classes EACH semester
PLEASE register for classes as soon as possible EACH semester
Classes fill up quickly (particularly inquiry classes) and once they are full there isn’t much we can do
Distance students are given a registration “window” at the beginning of the registration period. Once that window is past, any student can register for a distance class (i.e., residential students)
For classes in your MINOR, consult with your minor advisor (or a faculty member in your minor area)
Course substitutions for our requirements are RARE
“Do I have to take stats?”
