PhD in Educational Administration

Yes. The listing you are reading uses the title Maverick records, while the university registers the doctorate as Educational Administration and Supervision PhD. Same programme, two names. Quote GAU's version when you write to the Institute and it will be recognised immediately.

GAU does not state a figure in years for this doctorate, which is unusual among its programmes. What it does publish is a semester plan running to seven semesters, with taught work in the first three and qualification plus a three-part dissertation after that. We have chosen not to borrow the three-year figure shown on GAU's other doctoral pages, because it is not stated for this one.

Twice during the dissertation you present completed work to a jury formed by the Graduate School. Monitoring 1 follows Dissertation I and covers your introduction, literature review and methodology. Monitoring 2 follows Dissertation II, by which point the methodology has been applied and your findings, results and recommendations are written up. The Graduate School announces the dates.

Research Methods in Education covers action research, classroom observation, data collection methods, statistical methods, research ethics and quantitative, qualitative, mixed and experimental methodologies. Advanced Statistics then adds general linear modelling, multiple regression, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and multivariate techniques including ANOVA, MANOVA and ANCOVA. A further elective covers qualitative design, interviews, observation, documentation and triangulation.

Dissertation III states that a publication drawn from the dissertation must be accomplished under the framework of the Social Sciences Citation Index. The same stage also requires the work to meet the Graduate School's conditions on methodology quality and accepted plagiarism percentages.

Because GAU has not published one for this doctorate. Unlike its other doctoral pages, this programme has no information panel at all, so there is no fee field, no stated duration and no programme-level accreditation line to report. We would rather leave those blank than guess. Contact the Institute of Graduate Studies and Research for the current schedule.
