Phoenix’s New Market: Training College Leaders

The University of Phoenix announced that it has received permission from its accreditor to offer its first two Ph.D. programs and one of them is in higher education administration. Phoenix’s program, which could be enrolling students as early as this spring, will be largely online, but students will gather in person at various locations for a few days at the beginning of courses. The program is being designed so that students, while enrolled full time, can also continue with duties in their various campus positions, and hope to finish a doctorate in 3.5 years.
