Doctoral programs
Is anyone aware of doctoral programs (EdD or PhD) that work well in terms of calendar and delivery for international educators?
There are online programs from such schools as Walden, Capella and Argosy. These programs are pretty much all online. Last I looked, Capella required some summer sessions, but were mostly online. They are expensive.
In such cases most will not lead to certification. As an example, Argosy's website states:
"Only campuses in Arizona, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, and Utah offer programs that lead to teacher, administrator, or school psychologist certification, licensure, or endorsement in any State in the United States. The programs offered through Argosy University – Online Programs DO NOT lead to teacher or administrator certification , licensure, or endorsement in any State in the United States, regardless of the State in which the student resides. "
There are also hybrid courses from such schools as University of Nebraska or Creighton. I am familiar with those two, but there are of course, others. Nebraska's program is regarded well, and is an online hybrid; some online, some you can do during the summer. I'd assume other brick-and-mortar schools have similar programs. Again, you are probably not looking at certification/credentials- but I'm not knowledgeable enough.
As an aside, I completed my Phd for career advancement. It bumped up my salary, and over the course of my career, should pay for it's self. It did not however get me my Admin Certification. For that I had to get a job that provided full tuition to go back and get my Admin Cert in the US.
