The University of Miami Executive EdD in Higher Education Leadership offers a choice between two study concentrations for earning the Doctor of Education degree:
We prepare students for transformational leadership roles across influential components of American society, from colleges and universities and education-related organizations to community nonprofits, foundations, and public policy think tanks.
The Executive EdD program’s intensive cohort model allows professionals to study while maintaining their jobs and careers and connect to a support network of fellow students. In monthly meetings for three years, the cohort comes together to focus on course content, engage in lively discussion and exchange, and respond to copious feedback. Dissertation proposals are written as part of coursework; and students study year round (with semester class breaks), which enables them to complete their coursework and dissertations within three to four years. Each of the two concentrations requires 60 credit hours beyond the master’s degree. Students from both concentrations share all research courses, dissertation proposal seminar, proposal writing courses, and several elective courses.
