Coastal Carolina University is moving forward with a newly proposed doctoral program.
The interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Education offers three specialization areas, including education leadership; higher education and administration; and curriculum, instruction and assessment.
According to the university, the program will build on master’s level educational programs currently offered.
“The basic premise of this Ph.D. program is that contemporary educational methods are multifaceted and require practitioners to apply knowledge from a variety of disciplines,” Edward Jadallah, dean of Coastal Carolina University’s Spadoni College of Education, said.
The proposed degree program must still receive approval from the South Carolina Higher Education Commission and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Coastal Carolina University hopes to offer the program in Fall 2019.
Coastal Carolina University currently offers one Ph.D. program in marine science. The program was developed in 2014.
