    Numbers 2 and 3 are not so bad as they could be completed with three short trips. However, number 1 would be more difficult (assuming they mean 6 credit hours). This would essentially limit the program to people who live within driving distance and who are not employed full-time (at least for that semester). This will knock a lot of people off the list, and maybe that's the impetus.

    A closer look reveals that the requirements are only for the PhD, not the EdD.

    They refer to students paying a "market driven tuition rate", which since tuition rates at state schools have nothing to do with the market I assume they really mean the out of state rate.

    Anyway, it's just my guess, but I'll bet they did this from having been flooded with applications from people who were interested in them only because the program is inexpensive and available at a distance and not because of Nebraska's particular strengths.

    Perhaps the ending statement ought to be that persons interested in either degree program should be careful to ask and receive a clear answer to questions regarding residency requirements.
