Program Contact
Our Doctor of Education (EdD) is a fully online doctoral degree program that prepares students to engage with theory and research in the context of their professional knowledge and expertise. The primary goal of the EdD program is to enable graduates to develop as scholarly and influential leaders who will have an effective impact on sustainable change. This degree culminates in a Dissertation-in-Practice that is designed to enhance professional learning and to engage with field-specific principles and practices that can be applied to professional contexts. Although this program prioritizes scholarly developmentin professional spaces, it does not focus on preparing graduates for traditional academic positions.
