D.Ed. in Educational Management

D.Ed. HIGHER DEGREE STUDY

Overview

The Doctor of Education (D.Ed.) in Education Management is a program of advanced professional study to develop leadership in a selected field of professional education. As a program of doctoral study, it emphasizes theory and research as much as it does practice, breadth of study as much as depth, and process as well as knowledge. It seeks to develop knowledge and skills useful in educational roles as well as the abilities to analyze and respond to problems in their relationships to various educational concerns. The program emphasizes leadership in a broad professional field rather than expertise in a narrow area of specialization. A student's individual Ph.D. in Education program of study should clearly reflect a preparation that incorporates these features of doctoral study.

The Doctor of Education (D.Ed.) in Education Management program is specifically for professional practitioners in education, including those in public or private schools, community or government agencies, professional associations, and other education-related settings. Like other education doctorates, this degree program includes study and practice of educational and counseling research as well as study and application of theory and practice in the fields of education and counseling.
