The EdD program, which will be accepting applications from June 1 to November 1 for the first cohort beginning June 2021, draws from P站视频鈥檚 unique brand of in-depth, reflective practice and intensive research training. It allows students to pursue their own specializations in education at any level, in any subfield, at any location.

鈥淚 am excited to lead our first doctorate at P站视频 in Global Education for its three unique strengths: its rigorous research training; intentional curriculum of reflective practice and doctoral seminars; and its flexibility of online and in-person education to meet the demands of professionals who wish to advance in their leadership positions while researching and improving educational issues anywhere in the world,鈥 said Dr. Alla Korzh, EdD program chair. She strongly recommends the program for students with a passion for international work and education.
The 60-credit degree offers flexible courses primarily online, with short summer residencies at P站视频鈥檚 campus in southern Vermont. Throughout the program, students will receive one-on-one guidance from P站视频 advisors who, along with their doctoral colleagues, will collaborate closely on research topics of their choice as they work toward their dissertation.

鈥淭his new doctoral program allows current International Education professionals who want to teach in higher education or reach senior levels of education administration to pursue their terminal degree within P站视频鈥檚 academic and values frameworks,鈥 said Dr. Sora Friedman, chair of P站视频鈥檚 International Education master鈥檚 programs. 鈥淎s with our master鈥檚 degrees, this doctorate takes P站视频鈥檚 core values of community, intercultural understanding, social justice, and inclusion to the highest academic level.鈥
