Course Scheduling Advisories
Twice each year, the EDTC program coordinator creates a course scheduling advisory that is e-mailed to each EDTC candidate. Here at the EDTC program's Web site, these advisories are archived in order that candidates can view them online and study the typical course offering patterns. The latest course scheduling advisory is printed below. It will help you decide what courses to enroll in via the online registration system. Use the sidebar to review other course advisories in the EDTC archive.

Subject: Winter and Spring 2008 Course Scheduling Advice
Greetings to all ed tech graduate students at the University of Delaware!
I am writing to provide you with course scheduling advice for the upcoming Winter session and Spring semester of 2008. As always, you should check with your advisor each semester to confirm that your course selection is in line with your particular program. This course advisory contains sections for M.Ed. Students, M.I. Students, and Ed.D. Students, respectively.

===Ed.D. Students===
The Doctor of Education program is in transition.

With written permission from your advisor, you are permitted to take courses from either the old and/or the new program. The total number of credits required is the same for both programs, i.e., 54 credits.
===From the Old Ed.D. Program===
All Ed.D. students are required to take either EDUC 860 (Curriculum: Research, Theory, and Development) or EDUC 897 (Curriculum Inquiry). In the Spring of 2008, both EDUC 860 and EDUC 897 are being offered.

Once again, if you are a doctoral student and you need advice regarding whether to take courses from the old or new program, please consult with your advisor, who has the power to give you permission to make course substitutions as our School transitions to the new CT&HE program.
In the meantime, I hope you will all pass your final exams and projects with flying colors and then enjoy a pleasant holiday season. Cheers, Fred
