Overview
The College of Education offers degrees and experiences that suit the needs of learners across the continuum of educational careers.
DOCTORAL DEGREES
The College awards two doctoral degrees: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Doctor of Education (Ed.D.)
Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy program prepares students for careers of research or scholarly inquiry and teaching at the college
level. The program consists of (1) continuous research or inquiry,
(2) courses in education and related fields designed to develop a comprehensive academic basis for future work in research and teaching, and (3) teaching and other related experiences tailored to individual needs and career goals.
Ph.D. Admission & Degree Information
Doctor of Education
The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) prepares students for advanced professional practice directed mainly toward the application or transmission of existing knowledge.
The program of study leading to the Doctor of Education, as a professional degree, focuses on the utilization of research knowledge, rather than on the production of new research knowledge. Those who aspire to leadership positions as administrators, policy analysts, curriculum designers, or learning resource specialists, for example, would appropriately seek the Doctor of Education degree.
