I chose the College of Charleston because it is truly a unique experience where you can grow and learn a lot ... From conferences to community partners and practicum, the opportunities are endless ... I know that I will not only be prepared to get an internship but also prepared to get a job once I leave. The campus is beautiful and Charleston is a great city for graduate students to explore.Ashley, M.S. in Child Life
The MBA cohort experience has been really cool. We've got about 50 students, and it's like you're actually in a work environment... different assignments, different presentations and different projects. You end up collaborating with your cohort members.Drew Pampu, Student
In traditional PhD programs, it's often about advancing theories. In a DBA program, it's more about solving an actual business problem. This program is intended for an executive leader that is working as a full-time job. Most content is done online. That allows you to work in the hours that work best for you. But then we also have our weekends, one weekend every semester, we get to come together and create some community around this program.Iris Junglas, Ph.D., Faculty
An Ed.D. focuses on practical and problem-solving approaches with coursework that includes leadership, policy and organizational theory. You'll work closely with faculty to address practical issues in education from an advocacy perspective, preparing you to be a leader in a variety of educational contexts.Emily Skinner, Associate Professor of Literacy Education, Ed.D.
