  2. Doctor of Education (EdD) Online Program Overview Program Objective Program Requirements Program Format Admissions Process Note: This program is pending MHEC approval. Applications will not be accepted until formal program approval.

  3. Overview To address the dramatically changing landscape of education in the 21st century, which includes advances in technology, in new research on the science of learning, and in the emergence of a private education sector, the JHU School of Education has established an innovative and dynamic distance education option for its existing Doctor of Education (EdD) degree program.

  4. Program Objective The distance education option is designed to prepare an exceptional corps of educational leaders, both nationally and internationally, who can set a high standard for leadership in education and are equipped to meet the myriad challenges associated with improving K-12 learning outcomes in both public and private educational environments.

  5. Program Requirements Program requirements include a minimum of 90 graduate credits beyond the bachelor’s degree. Of these, 36 credit hours of prior coursework at the master’s level may be accepted as transfer credits from another institution A minimum of 54 credits must be completed at JHU

  6. Program Curriculum Coursework will include the follow components: • Science of Learning (12 credits) • Educational Organizations, Contexts, and Systems (12 credits) • Applied Research and Evaluation (9 credits) • Specialization area (12 credits) • Applied Dissertation (9 credits)

  7. Specializations • For the first cohort beginning Fall 2013, students will have the option of three specialization areas: • Entrepreneurial Leadership in Education • Mind, Brain and Teaching • Online Teaching and Learning

  8. Specialization Areas Anticipated Areas of Specialization: • Special Education • Counselor Education • 21st Century Educator

  9. Benchmarks In addition to successfully completing all coursework requirements, candidates must also satisfy the following program benchmarks: Comprehensive Assessments of Competencies within Problem of Practice Projects and Oral Defense Applied Dissertation Proposal and Oral Defense

  10. Comprehensive Assessments The assessments are in the form of projects completed during the summers following Years 1 and 2. Students will demonstrate mastery of competencies in these written and oral comprehensive assessments, which will serve as indicators of readiness for conducting applied research.

  11. Applied Dissertation The applied dissertation is the final and most significant requirement for the EdD degree. Characteristics of the applied dissertation that make it unique to this program include: Culmination of independently completed, but closely interrelated, projects. Projects are embedded within coursework and distributed across three years. Projects focus on a problem of practice within the organization with which the candidate is affiliated. Projects possess potential for significant change or impact within the organization or have implications for policy.

  12. Residencies The program includes two on-campus residencies. The first at the end of the first year (may be completed electronically from a distance). The second at the end of the third year, which will serve as the program’s culmination during which students will defend their dissertation orally. These residencies will allow face-to-face interactions with faculty and other students, as well as time for the oral defense and other activities related to the applied dissertation.

  13. Program Format Year 1 • Fall & spring – 2 courses each semester • Summer – 2 courses and 3 credits of applied research project/dissertation Year 2 • Fall & spring – 2 courses each semester • Summer – 1 course and 3 credits of applied research project/dissertation Year 3 • Fall & spring – 2 courses each semester • Summer – 3 credits applied research project/dissertation
