The Ed.D. in Educational Program Development with an emphasis in Adult Education is designed to develop the competencies of adult education practitioners in a variety of employment settings. Practitioners will also obtain and synthesize knowledge for the solution of adult and continuing education problems and practices. This program is a track within the Ed.D. in Educational Program Development. This track has its emphasis on adult education leadership in professional associations, government agencies, business and industry human resource development units, higher education and the community college adult and continuing education divisions, community action organizations, corporate universities, and the health care delivery system. Between 1998 and 2000, discussions between and among faculty, current students and perspective students has pointed the way for us to propose revisions in our Ed.D. that more clearly meets the needs of our clientele, places our program in an advantageous competitive position with other programs in the state of Florida and throughout Southeastern United States, and provides clear, concise distinctions between the Ph.D. and the Ed.D. in the adult education area of study.
