Voorhees University, a historically Black institution in Denmark, South Carolina, has received official approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to launch its first doctor of education (Ed.D.) degree program.
The new Ed.D. in leadership program will offer two specialized tracks for students, preparing them to become successful leaders in their chosen educational field. The PK-12 track will guide students toward careers in public, private, and online schools, preparing them to become leaders in early childhood and secondary education. The higher education concentration will teach students about necessary skills for higher education administration at 4-year, 2-year, public, and private college and university settings.
Courses for the new doctorate will be offered online in 8-week cohorts to provide flexibility for working professionals. The program has begun accepting students with the inaugural class scheduled to start on September 30.
