The University of North Georgia's (UNG) Doctor of Education in higher education leadership and practice was ranked fourth nationally for affordability according to eddprograms.org.

"Being recognized as one of the most affordable higher education programs in the country further reinforces the commitment of UNG to creating accessible programming to meet the needs of today's students," Dr. Katherine Adams, assistant professor and Ed.D. program coordinator, said.

At UNG, out-of-state students receive in-state tuition for UNG's online programs. As well, Adams noted that the faculty aim to choose zero-cost or low-cost course materials, which help recruit high-quality candidates from across the country.

UNG's Ed.D. program is tailored to the needs and interests of higher education administrators and professionals seeking to expand their professional knowledge and career opportunities. The cross-disciplinary structure of the degree program is committed to educational equity, a deep integration of theory and policy with practice, and the cultivation of a scholarly community that supports constructive conflict, encourages novelty and creativity, and questions prevailing norms in higher education.
