An Identification of Administrative Policies and Procedures in the Organization of the Doctoral Programs in Vocational Education in Selected Institutions in the United States

The purpose of this study was to investigate and report the similarities and differences in the administrative policies and procedures in graduate institutions accredited by the National Council for Teacher Education which offer doctoral degrees in vocational education. The investigation included similarities and differences in the areas of selection and admission, program planning, course requirements, preliminary examinations, dissertation requirements, and oral examinations. Data were collected through a questionnaire sent to the graduate officials at the selected 106 institutions. Usable data involved only thirty-four institutions which actually had a vocational doctoral program while seventy-nine institutions returned the questionnaire.
