The flexibility. My advisors laid out the program for me in terms of the course of study from my introductory courses all the way through my dissertation. What I have found to be quite valuable within the program's flexibility is that some of my courses are exclusively virtual, while another class my be both synchronous and asynchronous that meets only four or five times a semester. Some courses only meet every so often on the weekends.

"My advisor, along with the professors that I have had in all of my courses have been readily accessible."
Educational leadership at WMU
Applying theory to practice is an overall theme for the Doctor of Philosophy in educational leadership, with the case-study approach to learning used extensively. In addition to a small number of concentration related courses, an integrated "professional inquiry, research, and dissertation core" has been developed to increase the likelihood that students complete a Ph.D. rather than adding to the number of "all-but-dissertations" (ABD's) that exist in academia.
