What is this degree?

If your goal is to work in hands-on administrative leadership roles, an EdD is a great option. Unlike a PhD, which tends to be more research-intensive and designed for those interested in faculty positions, an EdD has a practical focus and looks at real-world applications of your studies. This degree is a good fit for those working in K-12 and higher education, nonprofits, government entities, and corporations that serve the educational community.
