U-Mary to offer doctorate in education

The University of Mary will offer a doctorate degree in education beginning in the fall, the school announced Thursday.

"The population of leading administrators in K-12 is aging in our school communities," saidDean Rod Jonas of the Liffrig Family School of Education and Behavioral Science, in a press release."That, along with a rapid increase in jobs involving non-routine, analytic and interactive skills has created an urgent need for innovative leaders in preK-12 and post-secondary education to adequately prepare students for these jobs."

Applications for the three-year program, which has been approved by the Higher Learning Commission, will be accepted until April 1.

This is the third doctoral degree offered at U-Mary. The program's first group of students will graduate in May 2018.
