Description
|
AEGIS is a highly selective,
fast-track cohort program leading to the Ed.D. in Adult and
Continuing Education for mid-career professionals who work
full time, and who choose to pursue a doctorate in a
concentrated format. The program emphasizes leadership for
adult and organizational learning. Scholar practitioners are
helped to examine and critique theory and professional
experience. Course work is completed over a two-year period.
Participants attend a concentrated three-week session at
Teachers College in each of three summers. During the
academic year, they meet for Friday evening and Saturday
seminars four times each semester for a total of four
semesters.
AEGIS is a structured
program that provides required courses in three areas:
theory, research, and the study of professional practice in
different settings in which adults learn. Students must also
pass a certification examination, and complete a
dissertation.
