The University of Georgia offers a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) program in Student Affairs Leadership. This part-time, primarily on-line program has been developed by the College Student Affairs Administration program at UGA and the members of the Regents Administrative Committee on Student Affairs (RACSA), which includes all Senior Student Affairs Officers in the University System of Georgia.

Goals for this program are as follow:
1. Provide doctoral-level education for student affairs professionals in the state of Georgia and nationally who are employed full-time and need a part-time doctoral program.
2. Educate scholar practitioners who will lead their institutions in creating enhanced and effective environments conducive to student learning and development.
3. Create a doctoral-level educational opportunity for student affairs professionals at institutions in more rural settings or at institutions that do not offer post-master's education.

The three-year program (with an optional fourth year, if needed, for dissertation completion) is situated on the Griffin Campus with some summer courses taught on the Athens campus. Students are required to complete two courses each term (fall, spring, and summer). Most of the coursework is delivered in a blended format using on-line education with face-to-face meetings several times during a semester.
