Overview

The EdD program in the Applied Learning Sciences at the University of Miami will provide people across a broad array of fields with the intellectual tools to (re)think about how they interact with subordinates, trainees, mentees, and students as learners and to (re)think their own roles as being that of a designer and teacher where they design, implement, and evaluate the impacts of learning environments for their students.
