Foreign-trained candidates who do not require a student visa to participate in University courses and/or degrees can be considered for admission.

Additionally, a number of countries do not recognize an online EdD education degree for employment or promotion purposes, particularly government agency employment or promotion. University programs are designed to meet accreditation, licensure and other requirements in the United States.
