Purdue Global (PUG) EdD in Leadership and Innovation

Do the professors for 780 and 810 seem reasonable in that if I were to start this program and had a vacation for 2 weeks during one of those classes that it would not cause an issue? The program advisor I spoke to couldn’t really answer if I could work ahead or make up work etc.

I took a two-week vacation in the middle of ED710 and ED720, so yes...with some caveats. First, you have to work ahead on assignments -- which is definitely possible, since you have all of them at the beginning of the term. So as long as you're willing to put that work in early in the term, it's possible. The second issue, though, is there are weekly discussion posts as well. You can write this ahead of time (I've done that a lot), but you also have to respond to a certain number of students' posts as well, and that has to be done during that week. So you can't go down to zero work those two weeks (unless you have a very understanding prof), but you can go down to, say, an hour or two of work those two weeks.
