Starting in May 2025, Logan University’s Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) for Health Professions Education will launch seven-week courses. The shift from the current 15-week course format to a seven-week format aims to provide a faster path to program completion while providing a more structured and focused schedule.
“The new format is essential, as nearly all of our Ed.D. students work full time,” said Laura Rauscher, PhD, director for Logan’s Ed.D. program. “Students will be able to complete their degrees more efficiently while still meeting the necessary learning outcomes.”
The new course format will allow full-time students to complete the Ed.D. program in approximately two years. However, the program has kept the practicum and research courses at a 15-week format to ensure students have sufficient time to complete their doctoral research and writing.
The Ed.D. program is the second program within Logan’s College of Health Sciences to make the 15 to seven-week switch.
“The College of Health Sciences is excited about reviewing the curriculums to assist students with meeting learning objectives and achieving degree completion,” said April Taylor, DBA, JD, Vice President of the College of Health Sciences and Student Affairs.
New students beginning the Ed.D. program in fall 2025 will automatically be enrolled in the seven-week format. More information on Logan’s Ed.D. program can be found here.
