Northeastern University's online Doctor of Education program equips experienced professionals and adult learners from varied backgrounds with the skills to revolutionize education. Participants develop cutting-edge strategies to drive meaningful impact in their communities. This EdD program follows an accelerated quarter system, typically completed in 3-4 years, offering five specialized concentrations to align with career goals. From the first course, students engage in dissertation work by identifying real-world challenges and implementing action research through data analysis, collaboration, and reflective practice. The diverse cohort of professionals pursues practical knowledge applicable to their workplaces. Although courses are primarily online (excluding hybrid options in Seattle and Charlotte), students participate in annual two-day campus residencies during their first two years at Boston, Charlotte, or Seattle locations, fostering professional connections and career development.
Program Goals
Designed for seasoned educators and leaders, Northeastern's EdD program explores contemporary issues in education and organizational leadership. Students master research methodologies while conducting doctoral-level investigations into pressing educational or institutional challenges.
