Dear Ashley, Are you still interested in the online EdD program? Let me tell you more about the differences and similarities between an EdD and PhD program: What positions are EdD and PhD degrees tailored to? An EdD develops scholarly practitioners who strive to connect academia with real-world situations to solve complex problems. A PhD develops lecturers, adjunct professors, and researchers, among others, for a tenure track at a university. What is the goal of the research for each degree? Research for an EdD program is for understanding local impact using applied, in-the-field action. Research for a PhD program is for the development of a theory as it pertains to a focused area of study and the obtainment of general knowledge. How do the curriculums differ? An EdD program curriculum contains the courses necessary for general education (core classes). A PhD program curriculum usually has optional concentrations that a student can take (elective classes). How challenging is each program? Both the EdD and PhD programs are thorough and time intensive.
