EdD-Higher Education (EdD-HIED)
The Doctor of Education in Higher Education is designed to prepare people for careers as faculty and administrators in community colleges and universities. The Higher Education program in the Department of Educational Leadership is the only one in Texas, and one of only 10 in the entire country that offers a graduate degree in college teaching. The degree requirements include 90 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree or 60 credit hours beyond the master's degree (not including the 12 hours of dissertation). Components of the degree include an education foundation core and course work in both college administration and college teaching. Recipients of this degree have made Texas A&M University-Commerce a leader in the state in producing college faculty, deans, and college presidents.
The EdD in Higher Education is not available for admission by international students due to the course delivery structure.
