Cal State to Launch Ed.D Programs

There was some discussion a few months ago about CSU offering professional doctorates. Until last year they were (by state statue) not allowed to offer doctorates, just up to the Masters level.


They will be starting Ed.D programs in 2007.

Here are a few highlights:

The California State University will begin offering the system's first independent educational doctorate programs in 2007 with seven campuses: Fresno, Fullerton, Long Beach, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, and San Francisco.

In 2008, six campuses will be added: Bakersfield, East Bay, Los Angeles, Northridge, San Jose, and Stanislaus.

I don't know about its DL prospects: There are currently online education masters programs at the Fullerton, San Diego and East Bay campuses, so of there is a possibility I would think it would start at these campuses.

I am hoping for at least one program in Educational Technology. They do have a joint residential Ed.D program in ET between Cal Poly Pomona and UC Irvine. I have also found a partially online Ed.D program in ET at Pepperdine. Having a few more choices wouldn't be bad.
