Doctoral Programs in Higher Ed Administration: No/Low Residency

A colleague with a law degree is considering enrolling in a doctoral program in higher education administration and wonders if there are any no- or low- residency online programs available from regionally accredited institutions. Any recommendations? Any warnings? Thanks!

 

I believe Liberty offers a doctorate degree in education with concentrations in either educational leadership or teaching and learning. It's low residency with only three on-campus intensives and its SACS accredited.http://www.liberty.edu

 

Walden has both PhD and EdD programs that might be of interest.

Northcentral has PhDs and EdDs in Education with no residency

I knew a couple of Embry-Riddle adjunct faculty who were pursuing their Ed.D. at Capella.

 

Univ of Nebraska - Lincoln offers an EdD and PhD online in Higher Ed. The PhD requires 6 hours of on-campus coursework.

It might or might not matter, but that degree is offered through the university's Extension.

 

Prescott offers a Ph.D. in education - I do not know if it can be used to higher education.

You may want to check out the low residency program at University of Florida. They have recently added an EDD in Higher Education Administration.
