History

William Howard Taft University's Doctor of Education program was suspended in 2003 in order for the university to obtain Distance Education and Training Council accreditation, since DETC did not accredit doctoral programs at the time. In 2009, when DETC’s scope of authority was expanded to include professional doctorates, the program was resumed.[2][3]

Starting in 2006, it has offered a Master of Education degree.[4] In 2010, it began offering the Doctor of Business Administration and B.S. in Business Administration.[5][6]
