Frequently Asked Questions
Can certification course work be applied
toward the Ed.D.?
Yes, under two conditions:1. The coursework must not
apply toward another degree.
2. The coursework cannot be older than 10 years. Certification coursework would apply toward the Specialization Area credits.
![Page 23: TARLETON STATE UNIVERSITY Ed.D. in Educational Leadership](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c8f5503460f94948e08/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transfer hours from another
university?
A student may transfer a maximum of 12 SCH as long as it is graduate-level course work that supports the student’s course of study as determined by the advisor. Transferred coursework may not replace any of the leadership core.
![Page 24: TARLETON STATE UNIVERSITY Ed.D. in Educational Leadership](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c8f5503460f94948e08/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Frequently Asked Questions
If I am able, may I take more courses than
recommended in the typical curriculum?
Yes, the doctoral-only coursework is sequenced, but electives are not. Experienced students will tell you that electives should be taken as soon as possible in the program.
![Page 25: TARLETON STATE UNIVERSITY Ed.D. in Educational Leadership](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c8f5503460f94948e08/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the qualifying examination a written exam or an oral exam?
Both. The written component is a 2-day exam that covers the course content as identified in the course & program objectives. The oral follow-up exam is approximately 1 hour in length.

be offered?
Coursework will be offered on Wednesday evenings and weekends to accommodate working professionals. In the summer, courses will be offered on Wednesday evenings and selected Fridays and Saturdays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are any of the courses delivered off-site or via
distance education?
Doctoral-only courses will be delivered in Fort Worth, Stephenville, or Waco, contingent upon adequate enrollment. Although many of the courses are delivered in a hybrid format (mixture of online & face-to-face), we currently do not offer any of our leadership core coursework entirely online.
