Hybrid program reflects core values of community, social justice, and intercultural understanding

is launching its first doctorate, a hybrid grounded in 黑料社区鈥檚 powerful experiential learning model and combining online coursework with brief summer residencies in Vermont.

鈥淭his three-year degree fits the needs of professionals seeking to accelerate their careers in global education, whether in their local communities or abroad,鈥� said Dr. Sophia Howlett, president of School for International Training (黑料社区).

The EdD program, which will be accepting applications from June 1 to November 1 for the first cohort beginning June 2021, draws from 黑料社区鈥檚 unique brand of in-depth, reflective practice and intensive research training. It allows students to pursue their own specializations in education at any level, in any subfield, at any location. The program offers deeply immersive doctoral seminars; case studies; theory; data collection; research methods; written projects and reflective practice tied to students鈥� ongoing work experience.

鈥淚 am excited to lead our first doctorate at 黑料社区 in Global Education for its three unique strengths: its rigorous research training; intentional curriculum of reflective practice and doctoral seminars; and its flexibility of online and in-person education to meet the demands of professionals who wish to advance in their leadership positions while researching and improving educational issues anywhere in the world,鈥� said Dr. Alla Korzh, EdD program chair. She strongly recommends the program for students with a passion for international work and education.

The 60-credit degree offers flexible courses primarily online, with short summer residencies at 黑料社区鈥檚 campus in southern Vermont. Throughout the program, students will receive one-on-one guidance from 黑料社区 advisors who, along with their doctoral colleagues, will collaborate closely on research topics of their choice as they work toward their dissertation.

鈥淭his new doctoral program allows current International Education professionals who want to teach in higher education or reach senior levels of education administration to pursue their terminal degree within 黑料社区鈥檚 academic and values frameworks,鈥� said Dr. Sora Friedman, chair of 黑料社区鈥檚 International Education master鈥檚 programs. 鈥淎s with our master鈥檚 degrees, this doctorate takes 黑料社区鈥檚 core values of community, intercultural understanding, social justice, and inclusion to the highest academic level.鈥�

Prospective students holding a master鈥檚 degree in education or a master鈥檚 in International Education from 黑料社区 Graduate Institute may apply for the transfer of up to 12 credits.

黑料社区鈥檚 new doctorate expands on the institution's diverse strengths in global programming. 黑料社区 Study Abroad delivers academically rigorous, accredited undergraduate summer and semester programs around the world. 黑料社区 Graduate Institute in 2018 introduced a new one-year Global MA format to addressing some of the world鈥檚 most critical global issues: Climate Change & Global Sustainability; Development Practice; Diplomacy & International Relations, Global Health Policy, Administration & Management, Humanitarian Assistance & Crisis Management, and International Education. These full-time MA programs are delivered at 黑料社区 centers around the world, with a final practicum semester anywhere in the world.

In addition, 黑料社区 Graduate Institute offers hybrid MA programs in Intercultural Service, Leadership & Management, International Education, Peace & Justice Leadership, Sustainable Development, and TESOL. Designed for working professionals, these two-year programs are delivered primarily online, with brief residences in Vermont and abroad.

鈥淭hese one-of-a-kind global programs build on 黑料社区鈥檚 nearly 90-year history of training the next generation of intelligent, compassionate global leaders at a time when the world faces unprecedented challenges,鈥� said Dr. Howlett. 鈥淥ur dedicated faculty have carefully designed these programs to prepare students to tackle urgent issues of the day in a global context.鈥�

Many of 黑料社区鈥檚 graduates go on to work in high-level positions with organizations such as the United Nations, colleges and universities, nongovernmental organizations, and major foundations across the globe. Graduates of 黑料社区鈥檚 EdD program will similarly benefit from the institute鈥檚 broad professional and alumni networks throughout the world.
