FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) - The University of Alabama has partnered with the University of North Alabama to offer a doctorate in education at the Huntsville school.
If the plan is approved by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, students will be able to start working on their University of Alabama Doctor of Education degrees in the fall.
All of the coursework will be offered at UNA and the program is designed for professionals working in or toward executive management or instructional leadership positions in preK-12 schools or school systems.
The doctorate will be a three-year degree, including 72 credit hours beyond the prerequisite master's degree.
UNA College of Education Dean Donna Jacobs said bringing the University of Alabama Ed.D. to the campus has been a vision of the UNA instructional leadership faculty.
