Doctor of Education (EdD)
As the more professionally-oriented degree, the Doctor of Education (EdD) is designed for educational leaders who contribute to the field of education through their work in the field, developing curricula, supervising, and leading out in instructional improvement and school change. Dissertation research for the EdD is typically practitioner-focused and addresses a topic of practical concern within the concentration area. The program requires 61 post-MA semester credits.
