 Doctoral Degrees I noticed that CCU no longer offers Doctoral Degree programs. Does CCU plan to offer Doctoral degrees in the future? The University was awarded Accreditation with the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC.org) in January 2005. At that time, the accrediting agency’s authority did not extend through the doctoral level. Therefore CCU discontinued accepting any new applications in the doctoral degree programs. Students who were previously enrolled in a doctoral degree program were allowed to complete (teach-out) that program. Since that time DETC has been approved to offer first professional doctoral degrees, which means CCU is now eligible to apply to DETC for approval of such degrees. CCU is currently in the early stages of developing a doctoral degree program and is communicating with DETC on the policies and procedures to do so. We look forward to being able to once again offer these programs to our students, however, at this time, we are unable to predict how long the development and accreditation process will take. Our tentative goal is to offer a Doctorate of Education degree program by the end of 2008. Interested students should continue to check our web site for updates on our progress. When we have a more definitive timeline we will be sure to post this information on our web site. Return to Main Menu |
