Specialization in Higher Education (EdD)
The specialization in Higher Education considers the graduate as a professional prepared to perform effectively in positions of leadership in institutions of higher education. The institutions at the post-secondary level need professionals capable of analyzing social, cultural, political and economic factors that affect decision making and who may reach beyond the mere adaptation to the profound technological and social changes, to become designers of a new future vision for higher education in Puerto Rico.
In addition to the requirements established in the Catalog, the candidate must have two years of educational or administrative experience in institutions of Higher Education.
