Doctor of Education

at Webster University

Webster University's Doctor of Education (EdD), offered by the School of Education, is based on a scholar-practitioner model with a well-rounded program for fostering scholarship, research and leadership among candidates who aspire to make a difference in today's world. It is based on a holistic framework with four foci: theory, research, practice and leadership. Beyond the four foci, the program values social consciousness, criticality and advocacy. Social consciousness corresponds to the connectedness of the dissertation projects to the sociopolitical, socioeconomic and sociocultural contexts.
