Doctor of Education - Minimum 31 hours
Delivery Method: Evening, Online
The William Woods Educational Doctorate is designed to be an academically rigorous, yet attainable, doctoral degree for students who aspire to enhance their leadership skills, research ability, and professional stature. Our students are primarily from the K-12 environment, but we do have some students who are currently working in higher education, non-profits, or industry. William Woods is proud of our requirement of a traditional individual dissertation, but we offer extensive help throughout the process. Completion of an EdD at William Woods has opened the door to professional advancement in school districts, career opportunities teaching in higher education, as well as personal goal attainment. With on ground cohorts throughout Missouri and online classes beginning every eight weeks there is an option to meet your professional goals.
Note: The EdD does not provide the necessary coursework for students to obtain advanced certification. The EdD program is not an avenue for principal or superintendent certification.
