The EdD in Science Education focuses on developing comprehensive knowledge of science education research literature along with related theoretical and applied disciplines, while cultivating the abilities needed to produce innovative, significant research contributions. While many EdD candidates study part-time, their diverse academic backgrounds, professional experiences, and career aspirations lead to customized coursework and individualized program plans.

As a doctoral candidate, you'll collaborate with most faculty members through coursework and research initiatives.
