The HESA program at Indiana University offers both Ed.D. and Ph.D. degrees. D. program is 60 hour program and the Ph.D. is a 90 hour program.
Course work in both programs consists of a major, minor, inquiry skills, and electives.
In addition, both degree programs require passing a qualifying exam , at the end of or near the end of the completion of course work, and a dissertation. We encourage full-time students to matriculate in the fall semester. Due to the sequencing of courses and the timing of graduate assistantships starting the program mid-year is difficult. Part-time students are encouraged to discuss their plans with a faculty member to plan a course of study that will meet their goals and circumstances.
