Supporting Area(s) [15-30 hours]
Course work for the Supporting Area may come from any academic department, in
the university, offering graduate coursework. Any complementary set of courses with a prefix different
from the major area (COE) of program emphasis may comprise the support area(s).
The supporting area(s) may be outside the College of Education. For example,
Ed.D. students with an emphasis in counseling will typically select a minor in such
areas as Psychology, Sociology, Gerontology, Gifted Education, Public
Policies, Technology Education, School Psychology, Educational
Psychology, Women's Studies, and so forth.
Supporting Area Examination for Ed.D.
- Students pursuing the Ed.D. degree are required to demonstrate
mastery of the supporting area. The student may take the supporting
area examination only after completion of all course work in the
supporting area. The support area professor may allow the student to
take the minor examination at the same time the Written Preliminary
Examination (WPE) is taken.
