About the Agricultural Education Doctoral Program

The Doctor of Education in Agricultural Education is a unique distance-delivered degree awarded by Texas Tech. This degree is designed for mid-career professionals who are place-bound and cannot relocate. All coursework associated with this degree is delivered online. This degree requires a minimum of 64 semester hours of graduate coursework beyond the master’s degree, including 12 hours of dissertation.

At or near the end of coursework, students take a qualifying written examination. Shortly after the written examination, students take an oral qualifying examination. Both examinations are administered by the student’s committee. Students are then required to complete a dissertation and pass an oral defense of the dissertation.
