Visiting Scholars, Practitioners and Executives:                            
The EPhD Program provides an integration of faculty expertise from academic, executive and practitioner perspectives. Current faculty will facilitate primarily
the teaching of the modules throughout the academic program of study.
However, other nationally known and prominent scholars will lecture and
present on topics of present and future relevance to urban settings. The combination of the faculty, within the context of trans-disciplinary subject
matter, provides a unique educational experience for the students. Visiting scholars and executives may be invited from other institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania, Pace University, University of California,
Vanderbilt University, University of Georgia, Howard University, Hampton University, Stanford University, Columbia University, Harvard University and
other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) with Hispanic/Latino and Native American/Indian populations.
