Doctor of Education

The University of Minnesota awards the doctor of education (Ed.D.), its highest professional degree in educational policy and administration and work and human resource education, in recognition of satisfactory academic preparation and demonstrated competence for professional activity in those fields.

Standards and procedures for admission, and expectations for scholastic performance, are comparable to those for the Ph.D. A major part of the program must be conducted in full-time residence, including at least one continuous academic year at advanced stages of the program. Rules and procedures governing examinations, candidacy, time limits, appointment of committees, and the dissertation for the Ph.D. apply in general to the Ed.D.

For requirements, see Doctor of Philosophy Degree, or contact the Graduate School by e-mail at gsdoc@umn.edu. Note: Some commonly used forms are available on the Graduate School Web site.
