| Aimed at working professionals, the Doctor of Education (EdD) provides students with the critical skills necessary to better navigate the increasingly complex and constantly changing educational framework. With the theme of ?Education in the Digital Age?, this program is designed to help students address challenges that require a sophisticated and research informed response from educators. This allows students to focus on specific aspects of the use of technology in education as well as topics that are set in the broader landscape of the digital age. |
