Innovative Graduate Programs Initiative

At the recent College of Education Retreat (Fall 2011) Dean Fleener assembled a number of break-out sessions. One session was based on Innovative Graduate Programs.

A group of more than 15 faculty members met to discuss two innovations: (1) College-wide PhD degrees and (2) The return of the practitioner-focused EdD (differentiated from the PhD).

Below is a link to the meeting minutes.



At the January 2012 Leadership, Policy, Adult and Higher Education Department meeting, breakout discussion groups generated ideas of how to improve doctoral student retention and performance. The ideas from those groups are below.
