The Ed.S. is an Education Specialist degree. It is a post-master’s degree attractive for those working in educational administration. Typically this degree is valued within K-12 settings but we have adapted the degree and created the bridge to Ed.D. so that those interested in higher education administration and college teaching may also find this to be an attractive option. The Ed.S. is a 33 credit program with an action research project capstone.

Ed.D. is a Doctor of Education degree. This degree is particularly attractive to those who wish to work in college/university administration, college teaching, and K-12 central office. This is a 63 credit program (27 credits from Ed.S. will transfer into the doctorate) with a dissertation capstone project.
