Applications are Now Available for Taft University's Doctor of Education Program

William Howard Taft University has announced that beginning on October 1, 2008 it will resume accepting applications for its Doctor of Education Program. The Program, which was founded in 1994, has been subject to voluntary enrollment limitations in recent years.

After an extensive review of curriculum, courses, faculty, and administrative capacity by independent subject specialists, the Distance Education and Training Council in June gave final approval to the University to enroll additional students.

Barry P. Resnick, Administrative Dean of the School of Education, said in recent years the focus has been on developing the Master of Education Program. "With the addition of new faculty I am very excited about the quality of the Ed.D. Program. In our opinion this Program, in terms of scope and rigor, equals or exceeds those of comparable classroom based programs." Resnick commented.

To commemorate the re-opening of admissions, the first twenty-five students who are accepted for admission and commence study by January 1, 2009 will receive a grant equal to 50% of the published tuition. Provided the student remains in good standing, this grant will remain in effect throughout the length of the Program.

Taft Law School and William Howard Taft University Re-Accredited by DETC

On June 7, 2008 the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) voted to grant re-accreditation to The Taft University System until 2013. This action was taken after consideration of an extensive self-study prepared by the University and the report of a site visitation team that included representatives of both regionally and American Bar Association accredited schools. The five year re-accreditation period is the maximum permissible under DETC standards.

Michael P. Lambert, Executive Director of DETC, stated "The five-year re-accreditation of The Taft University System is a milestone event for both Taft and DETC, since it represents a public affirmation of a distinguished educational institution for the second time in five years. DETC is extremely proud to be affiliated with the staff and faculty of Taft and we commend them on this outstanding achievement. Taft represents a unique, highly accessible, convenient and affordable learning opportunity for students around the world, and DETC re-accreditation is their assurance of the highest academic quality and business ethics."

Both William Howard Taft University and Taft Law School are members of The Taft University System.
