HELP Timeline
HELP Program Timeline Progression
YEAR 1: Coursework fosters development of dissertation topic, resulting in the completion of introduction, and literature review chapters.
YEAR 2: Course readings and assignments support the completion of a dissertation prospectus and committee approval for the student’s research.
YEAR 3: Data collection and analysis, written dissertation, and oral defense.
Therefore, through the inherent synergy between coursework and dissertation research, students work closely with faculty to complete the Ed.D. program within a three-year time frame. View more information about the HELP program in the Degrees Site.
