The Winona State University applied Doctor of Education (EdD) degree program offers an innovative approach to preparing knowledgeable education practitioners. This accelerated online degree is designed for practicing educators. The program will develop practitioner scholars in education who can strategically address the challenges of practice and apply research-based strategies to improve education outcomes at all levels. The Doctor of Education degree (EdD) is designed to prepare educational practitioners at the P-12, higher education, and community college levels. This program utilizes an online cohort model with two face-to-face summer residencies. The goal of the program is to prepare educational practitioners to be creative, to address problems of practice in educational settings, to improve pedagogy, and other professional practices, and to use data-driven decision-making strategies. Additionally, students will receive instruction in the fundamental theories of education along with clinical opportunities to put concepts and theory into practice with related program evaluation. Action research will be the guiding framework for the dissertation component of the EdD.
The following plan of study assumes that admitted students will have a completed Master’s degree or EdS of no less than 30 semester credits.
