Academic Policy Details

Public Access to Doctoral Dissertations completed by Students enrolled in the Ed.D Program

William Woods University requires that the dissertation be accessible to members of the public as a way of sharing applied research with the greater academic community. Applied research is useful to the development of strong leaders in the field of education.

Because of this commitment, students may not use research that restricts publication or public disclosure of these items or of the dissertation.  Proprietary materials, private information, and material that are classified for security reasons are examples of research that might preclude publication.
