A mentor is assigned at the onset of the program to provide support throughout the process of writing the dissertation.
- Executive Ed.D. program design
The program is conducted on the Seton Hall University campus. The Executive Ed.D. Program director, chair, and staff have managed to design a program that suits working administrators. Program staff recognizes and respects the limited time that working administrators have. They have made paying for everything a convenience. Financial aid is arranged through the program. Cohort members find no hidden fees: books, parking, lab access, technology, and meals are all included in the cost of the program-$60,000.
Candidates for each year's program are carefully screened before being accepted into a cohort. The cohort progresses through the program together. This cohort model provides collaboration and a collegial study environment that provides ample time for professional sharing. Cohort members come from throughout the United States and several countries.
The courses within the program are structured into educational modules [1] "organized to provide a balance of rigor and relaxation, study and collegiality. Lectures blend with picnics and receptions, labs and presentations allowing for bonding, networking and unwinding."
