The historical development of the EER program, from its initiative as WSU's first Ed. D., to its growth with the Ph. D. and master's program, was well documented (Irwin, 1960). The importance of the EER doctoral program was established, in terms of its role in the COE, within WSU, and in the outside business and industry communities (Ozkan, 2008). The ascension and support of non-EER administrators and faculty into statistical and related computed was investigated (Carroll, 2019). A program evaluation established the high level of satisfaction of graduates regarding their EER doctoral experience (White, 2015). The purpose of the current study is to expand beyond WSU and consider the ranking of WSU's EER program as compared with twenty-two universities designated by a former COE dean as being comparable to WSU. Hence, the first purpose of this dissertation is to compare the curriculum of the WSU EER Department at Wayne State University with the other 22 universities. The second step is to compare the research and publications of the faculties at these universities with those of the faculty in EER. The third step is to develop a statistically sound ranking formula regarding the scholarship of the faculties of these universities.
