As the sole Ed.D. doctoral program in the U.S. dedicated to preparing teacher educators, educational researchers, and leaders committed to policy transformation in Dance Education, we are rapidly growing and seeking an outstanding full-time faculty colleague with early career promise in the field to join our doctoral community.
