Trevecca Nazarene University announced it will offer a fully online doctorate program starting January 2016. The university's 16-year-old Ed.D. in Leadership and Professional Practice will be offered in an online format in addition to the face-to-face delivery.  

“Trevecca has long been heralded in the higher education community as an innovator," said Alice Patterson, program director. "Providing an online option for leaders to pursue doctoral work allows Trevecca to continue in this tradition. How exciting it is to know Trevecca's Ed.D. will soon be available to professionals worldwide.”

The Ed.D. is a non-traditional doctoral program designed for leaders in various fields such as business, healthcare, non-profit, ministry, and education.  A scientifically based applied research dissertation is completed related to one’s field of leadership and is done in concert with the coursework. The program utilizes a cohort model and involves 57 credit hours that can be fully completed, including dissertation, in 27 months with no on-campus requirement.
