TROY achieves historic milestone with ACHE instructional role change
The Alabama Commission on Higher Education approved an instructional role change for Troy University that will allow the University to offer additional doctoral degrees, a move that paves the way for TROY’s continued maturation as a research institution.
TROY applied in June for a change in instructional role, and following a recommendation of approval by ACHE staff, commissioners voted unanimously to grant the change.
This role change will benefit not only Troy University, but the entire state. Over the last decade, TROY has prepared for this new role by increasing resources for doctoral programs while practicing good stewardship. We have considered carefully each doctoral program as it was developed and monitored the progress of students as they matriculate through each program.
