My husband got his Masters in Education while living in Germany and attending a branch office of National Louis University in the Frankfurt area. At that time we also wondered if a Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.)could be earned the same way – living overseas and earning credits for an American Doctorate degree.

One of my friends informed me of  Northeastern University’s Doctorate in Education, which is taught mostly online over a three-year period with one or two summers spent in Boston.  The College of Professional Studies Graduate Tuition per Q.H. charges US$ 438,00 per credit. “Tuition and fees are subject to revision by the president and Board of Trustees at any time.”

From the website: “Students who live and work long distances from Boston may elect to take up to 11 of their 13 courses online. The remaining two must be taken on-campus to meet the program’s two courses on-campus residency requirement. Many students will find the intensive one-week summer courses the most convenient pathway to meeting this requirement. Inexpensive summer housing is available.”

Northeastern University is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
