The George Fox University doctor of eduation (EdD) program is designed to provide high-quality, Christ-centered education to professional K-12 and higher educators wishing to enhance their knowledge and skills. The EdD core emphasizes moral leadership and provides reasoned solutions to problems encountered in the process of meeting institutional and community goals.
Working within a Christian worldview, the curriculum attends to ethical, legal, social, political and historical perspectives on educational questions. The degree also equips students to use qualitative and quantitative research tools to increase their understanding of the problems encountered in educational organizations.
The design of the George Fox University doctor of education program offers flexibility to educators. By participating in modular, on-line and intensive summer courses, EdD students are normally able to complete their coursework in three academic years. George Fox welcomes inquiries and applications from those wishing to advance in their development as professional educators.
