The Ph.D. in Education Program meets the advanced learning needs of educators from a range of practice fields and educational levels.
Students examine both educational theory and practice within a broadly conceptualized curriculum.
This affords students the opportunity to tailor their study to their own educational setting and unique professional interests. At the program s core is a self-guided curriculum based on the social and behavioral science disciplines that inform research and practice in professional education. Students demonstrate competency in the core areas of societal development, human development, organizational and social systems, and principles of social and behavioral science research. The advanced curriculum focuses on specialized education topics. All students at Walden enjoy the advantages of distance delivery.
