Adult Education Ed.D. - Minimum 48 hours
Delivery Method: Online
The Online EdD in Leadership and Adult Learning in Organizations responds to the needs of higher education administrators, K-12 educators, adult education instructors, adult education curriculum developers, corporate trainers, and instructional designers by offering a real-world program of study. The online program is designed to equip professionals with the essential instructional and training strategies necessary for adults working in industry, education, healthcare, and non-profit organizations. Based on a rigorous and meaningful program of study that culminates in a research-based dissertation, doctoral students will acquire knowledge in adult learning theory and practice; learn to develop programs that specifically respond to the learning needs of adults; and master leadership and management skills that address the dynamic changes in organizations and the global challenges impacting the current adult workforce.
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.
