“I believe we have found a nice balance between maintaining quality and rigor while integrating an efficient project-based approach to our students' research,” said Brett Welch, director and associate professor for the Center for Doctoral Studies in Educational Leadership. “Educational leadership programs are practitioner based, so the introduction of a dissertation in practice model allows for our students to truly connect with their research. To this end, we have redesigned our course work so as to align with a culminating project. The traditional dissertation model remains an option, but we are changing the culture of our program to reflect project-based research. This idea resonates with both current and potential students.”
