I am considering pursuing my Ed. D. from Northcentral University and was wondering if anyone could give any informantion on their accreditation and if they have a reputable program?  I am considering Leadership and Curriculum Instruction.  Do they a residence requirement? and do they provide student support?

In doing a simple google search, I found that there are several colleges named Northcentral University.  Which one are you thinking about?  Where is it located?

If it's NCU.edu they have quite a few people in their doctorate programs and overall they seem to have a pretty fantastic thing going.  From a price point they are tough to beat.

Yes, they have regional accreditation, which is usually considered the most reputable.

They do not have a residence requirement, and they do provide student support, although whether they provide the exact support you want is a question better for them than anyone else.

What's your goal for this doctorate?  What do you want to do with it once you have it?

Thank you for responding Steve,

Presently, I am an Educational Specialist working with elementary students with specific learning disabilities and developing learning goals for their IEPs (Individual Education Plan).  I wish to pursue a position in special education administration at the elementary level, then moving on to become a Program Specialist, Elementary (consulting and advising school personnel in the area of special education policies, procedures, personnel, materials, resources, assessment, curriculum, and instructional strategies).   I will then use the above experience in obtaining a university teaching position..

An  Ed. D. in Curriculum Instructional Leadership I believe will help me in pursuing my career goals.
