Three campus visits are required during the program. The first visit is a mandatory on-campus orientation the Friday before the first semester of classes. The second visit is after the second summer of courses to work with the student’s faculty chair on the Record of Study topic. The third visit is scheduled as the student prepares to defend the Record of Study. More information can be found in the program’s Prospectus.

Texas A&M University has a residency requirement for EdD students which requires students to be enrolled “full-time” for at least two semesters. Students in this program who are full-time employees during the program can be exempted from this requirement. (Additional information will be needed, such as a petition and verification of employment.) If not employed full-time during the program, students will need to register for additional hours at the end of the program to meet the residency requirement.
