After students are admitted and begin the program, advising will be provided to enhance their academic and professional development. Student advising is primarily provided by the Graduate Coordinator and Faculty Advisor at different phases of the doctoral program. The Graduate Coordinator serves as academic advisor for all students in the program until the student chooses a Faculty Advisor. The Graduate Coordinator helps students with general academic advising, which may include assisting students in interpreting program requirements, considering program options, and identifying supporting services on campus. In the second semester, students choose a Faculty Advisor who supports them as they negotiate academic benchmarks and who may become the Dissertation Committee Chair. The Dissertation Committee Chair is responsible for the primary supervision of the student’s dissertation research.
Mentoring is often considered one of the most powerful learning experiences for professional students. By providing ongoing guidance, modeling, coaching, and supports in an actual working environment, mentors can effectively assist students in pursuing professional development opportunities; identifying professional networks; and integrating research, theory and practice. In order to meet the learning needs of the full-time working professions enrolled in the Ed. D. Program, one of the visionary features of this doctoral program is to institutionalize the mentoring relationship between the students and the experienced leaders and administrators in the P-12 and/or Community College setting.
