Educational Development Plan (EDP)

An Educational Development Plan -EDP, for short- is an individualized semester-by-semester class plan for reaching the student's intended educational goal. With this plan, the student can map out a path to a certificate, degree, or career goal and set a timeline for attaining it. It is a plan that will be influenced by classes offered each semester and the student's individual circumstances, so the student and program advisor should re-evaluate it regularly.
