EdD Programs

Let the Warner Advantage Give you a Career Advantage

Warner's EdD programs are primarily designed for experienced practitioners interested in using research to solve problems of practice, assuming leadership positions, and/or preparing the next generation of practitioners in their field. Therefore, EdD programs have been designed to be completed part-time. We offer an "accelerated" EdD option that includes a field-based dissertation and can be completed in as little as three years of part-time study; "traditional" EdD programs are more flexible but take longer to complete.

Since most EdD candidates already have their master's degree, transferable credits may allow you to achieve your EdD in as little as 54 credits.
