Applicants must have earned a master's degree from an accredited program, with a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA.
Policy
Grades
Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for all coursework, with no individual grade lower than a C.
Attendance
Much of the EdD is online. Each course syllabus will detail the asynchronous and synchronous components of the course. If synchronous components are required and a student is unable to attend a class, the student must contact the instructor and take responsibility to meet the class objectives (including possible written make-up work). Two courses, ETHL-724 and ETHL-729, have required in-person (La Crosse, WI) components during the summer.
Completion
All requirements for the degree must be completed within seven years.
Transfer Credit
Up to 12 credits of graduate-level coursework may be transferred into the EdD in Ethical Leadership. To be eligible for transfer, credit must be above and beyond the requirements of a previously earned degree, from a program that was not completed, or from a non-degree granting program (e.g. licensure). A transfer course must be a match for a specific course within the program, meeting the equivalency requirements (i.e. analogous learning outcomes). Students may be asked to provide course syllabi to show the equivalency. To be considered for transfer, a grade of "B" or better must have been earned. Transfer credits must be from an accredited institution of higher education and completed within the last seven years. Coursework older than seven years may be credited based on individual review of the coursework. Requests to transfer credits must be made in the student's first semester. Please contact the Program Director if you have previously completed a WI state Superintendent license.
Dissertation
All students will complete a dissertation prior to graduation from the EdD program. During the program students are prepared with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully accomplish a dissertation. Each student will select a faculty mentor and a committee to help with the process. A final copy of the dissertation will be submitted to the program director and archived in the Viterbo University Todd Wehr Memorial Library.
