EdD is Designed for Individuals Who Want to Transform Education
Carlow University is re-imagining the future of education as they add a Doctorate in Education (EdD) to their suite of education programs that will begin in the fall of 2024.
Carlow’s EdD will challenge students to study their practice in relation to the changing systems of education and advance their careers as classroom teachers, principals, school district superintendents, assistant superintendents, college faculty, executive directors, and heads of foundations.
A three-year, practice-based inquiry program, Carlow’s EdD offers four specialization strands aligned with the professional goals of students: Educational Leadership; Curriculum and Learning; Literacy, and Early Childhood Policy and Leadership. The program is online with offsite internships and an on-campus Dissertation Defense.
“Our EdD program is designed for people who want to become part of a collaborative leadership community of ethical stewards of our profession,” explains Patricia L. McMahon, PhD, EdD’s program director. “One of the distinctions of Carlow’s program is that students will be encouraged to embrace the paradoxical elements inherent in the complex systems of education and to imagine and implement new systems and approaches that innovate for human-centered, transformational learning.”
The inaugural cohort of Carlow’s EdD program begins with the Fall 2024 semester. Admission requirements include a current curriculum vitae; a master’s transcript from an accredited institution, an essay and three professional recommendations.
