PLEASE HELP! Does anyone here know of any schools that offer a doctorate program in physical education or related fields online? I have searched and searched and had absolutely NO luck!
I'm not sure what constitutes a related field exactly, but: Doctor of Sport Mgmt, SACS-accredited http://www.ussa.edu/doctorate.htm You'll have to figure this one out, but it does refer to a Ph.D. in Phys. Ed. via DL, perhaps in Romania. Look for "Doctor's degree: Doctorate in Physical Education and Sports: 4 years - daily courses/ 4 to 6 years - distance learning" under Dean Carstea: http://www.ceebd.co.uk/ceeed/un/rom/ro010.htm Actually, backing up in this link reveals a motherload of information about East and Central European education: http://www.ceebd.co.uk/ceeed/educatio.htm . You may find others in there under the science category.
I note from the subject index to the 14th edition of Bears' Guide that there are non-resident ones in Australia at Edith Cowan U and U of Melbourne. And it may well be possible to design your own program at the short-residency Union Institute. John Bear www.degree.net
Does it have to be physical education? There are Ed.D. and Ph.D. programs in more general areas. For example, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has Ph. D. and Ed. D. programs in Administration, Curriculum and Instruction (ACI) with specialization in Educational Leadership and Higher Education. ------------------ Kristin Evenson Hirst DistanceLearn.About.com
