Hello all! I'm researching EdD programs and I ran across an EdD in Human Services Administration from Nova Southeastern. That is just what I'm looking for... anyone know of any other online EdD programs with a concentration in Human Services?
What exactly is "Human Services"? Is that similar to a social work degree? Or is it rather interdisciplinary, covering a broader range than a social work degree, like counseling and so on? A quick Google search revealed this one from Walden in Human Services, it's a PhD though not an EdD: http://www.waldenu.edu/Degree-Programs/Doctorate/PhD-in-Human-Services.htm And this program from the University of Utah, it's a PhD also though, in social work: http://www.socwk.utah.edu/phd/ted.html
It's rather interdisciplinary in nature, but my M.A. is basically light on the counseling. My particular interest is in social and community services. I had been looking at the EdD in organizational leadership from NCU as a first choice (for a position as a K-12 principal or even a super). However, the Human Services specialization would be helpful to score adjunct teaching jobs in Human Services without having to take any additional credits.
It's a PhD program (not EdD) but probably not much different: http://www.waldenu.edu/Degree-Programs/Doctorate/PhD-in-Human-Services.htm
