PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Doctor of Education (EdD) in the School of Advanced Studies is a graduate degree program that enhances and builds upon the knowledge, values and skills obtained from a graduate teacher education program. At the doctorate level, the program aims to develop students who have :
- an expert level of theoretical knowledge in a specific subject area in education;
- the competence and motivation to draw from expert-level knowledge to understand and solve different problems related to their area of specialization in education, and
- the competence to undertake advanced independent research in an area of specialization in education.
