Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Innovation
6 weekends per semester for 3 years
Our doctoral program in Educational Innovation is designed for practitioners who work
in varied educational settings. It prepares educators to lead effectively in the teaching
and learning environment, to advocate for solutions to problems, to foster innovation,
and to be responsive to the evolving expectations placed upon educational systems.
Based on the Carnegie Project on the Educational Doctorate (CPED) principles, the
55-hour program of study includes 19 hours of core coursework, 9 hours in a concentration
of choice (see list of 21 concentrations available), 12 hours in research, and 15
hours of capstone/dissertation in practice. Students progress through the program
as a cohort, and courses are taught face-to-face over six weekends each semester.
**In order for an individual to be considered and then invited for an interview, the
online application and all materials must be received on or before November 2. Cohorts
