Doctor of Education in Educational Research - Leadership in Post-Secondary Contexts

The Doctor of Education (EdD) is situated within a practitioner-scholar approach, a preparation model that is focused on research-informed practice. This EdD stream involves investigation of current trends and issues within the post-secondary context which encompasses higher education, tertiary or third level education contexts. The audience for this program is faculty, current leaders, and policy makers of universities, colleges, institutes of technology, colleges of applied arts and technology, vocational and trade colleges and others who are interested in: assuming leadership roles in the post-secondary educational environment, educational consultancy, and/or obtaining an advanced (doctoral level) qualification for career advancement.

This program is a combination of coursework and thesis preparation whereby the coursework scaffolds students’ learning, development of expertise, and scholarly activities required to undertake and write up research. This program is cohort based and has the feature of increased support provided by peers, instructors, supervisors, and potentially, from the field. Topic areas covered include: understanding the post-secondary context nationally and internationally, instructional leadership, other leadership issues including: research, service, budgeting, building human capacity, and the quality agenda, and technology innovation for teaching, research, services, and administration within the post-secondary environment.
