Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama is developing an online Doctor of Arts (DA) in English. JSU’s current doctorates are a competitive 450 to 500 per semester hour. (Their only online doctorates currently are in emergency management and in nursing.)

The Chanticleer Wrote:English Department Head Raina Kostova said the Doctor of Arts in English degree will be offered completely online. Kostova said students are not required to have a master’s degree to begin the program, meaning undergraduates can transition directly into the doctoral program upon graduation.
Kostova said the degree has been in development for the past two years. Former English Department Chair Andrea Porter began the initial research before Kostova became the department head a year ago.
