Bill Elieson

Dr. Elieson has degrees from Caltech, Harvard, and UNT. He has been associated with UNT for 25 of the last 35 years as an instructor, interim department chair (twice), and PhD program mentor for the last 9 years. He has been involved with the distributed PhD program since it was established and approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board while serving as the department's chair.

Dr. Elieson has had the pleasure of seeing dozens of “his” students complete their doctoral program and use their degree and the understanding it represents to further their career. A one-time techie, he is now particularly interested in identifying how the principles of cognition are reflected in effective educational practices. He also writes a weekly newsletter on principles of good administration, featuring articles from the Harvard Business Review.
