The program admits a new cohort of students three times per calendar year and students complete an established sequence of courses designed for working professionals, consisting of two courses per trimester with a typical graduation timeline of 36 months. Students also complete a research-intensive dissertation focused on a problem-of-practice as part of their program of study. Courses are delivered online and are designed to provide students a strong sense of community with maximum collaboration opportunities. Live sessions are also offered in the evenings to accommodate the working professional; each course includes an asynchronous component and a live class session for 1.5 hours each week. EdD-LOC faculty take part in hosting cohorts of students for on-campus immersion experiences in Waco. This doctoral program has successfully graduated more than 400 students.
