The doctoral program in Adult Education provides students with the research tools and technical knowledge necessary to advance in the adult education career field. Also, graduates of this program will gain new tools for adult education coordination, mentoring, faculty development, corporate and professional teacher education, adult education methodologies, and teacher in-service training.

This program seeks to help students develop the individual skills necessary to solve educational problems, whether in teaching, supervision or administration, keeping those solutions in balance with institutional, community or school system needs and expectations.
