In addition to successfully completing all coursework requirements, students admitted in 2023 and thereafter must also complete a Doctoral Dossier consisting of three faculty-mentored research projects.
Students examine a Problem of Practice (POP)—an area of concern they have observed within their professional context—that becomes the focus of the student's Doctoral Dossier, which consists of three main projects described below.
As part of our commitment to social justice, the EdD program does not privilege one form of communication over another. Thus, all components of the Doctoral Dossier can be communicated in a modality of the student’s choosing: video, oral, scholarly writing, or public-facing writing. Additionally, students can choose the type of scholarship project they will work on during years two and three of the program. Our Doctoral Dossier is based upon Boyer’s Four Domains of Scholarship (1990) and includes:
RESEARCH PROJECT 1 :
Scholarship of Integration: To begin their Doctoral Dossier process, all students will spend their first two semesters reviewing the research literature and using systems thinking to refine their Problem of Practice. The culmination of this process will be the Scholarship of Integration project, which is a synthesis of the literature reviewed that identifies and describes the underlying causes of and factors contributing to their chosen POP. This project is foundational to understanding the identified problem and determining what students choose to research in years two and three.
Example projects include : A podcast, video series, manuscripts for publication in a professional or scholarly journal, lengthy presentation targeting policymakers. Within all project modalities, the factors contributing to the POP are discussed through a synthesis of the research literature.
RESEARCH PROJECT 2 :
Following completion of the Scholarship of Integration project, students will choose one of the following two options for Research Project 2 :
Scholarship of Application: Demonstrate the application of the research to practice. The purpose of this project is to a) consider how the research perpetuates and/or disrupts oppression, b) critique relevant systems, structures, and institutions, and c) determine avenues to effectively disseminate evidence to a wider audience and stakeholder group.
Example projects include : historical analysis of a topic, curriculum creation, community organization, autoethnography, instructional pedagogy, and others.
Scholarship of Teaching: Development and improvement of pedagogical practices. Students examine teaching processes and assessments to improve practice.
Example projects include : autoethnography of one’s teaching, innovative teaching materials, curricula, development of new courses, or development of a new pedagogical framework.
RESEARCH PROJECT 3 :
Following successful completion of Research Project 2, students will choose one of the following projects and orally present a proposal for their third project to a panel of faculty:
The scholarship option NOT chosen for Project 2 , or
Scholarship of Discovery: Search for new knowledge. Students conduct evidence-based research that leads to knowledge creation.
Example projects include : investigating the effectiveness of a curriculum created during year 2 (Scholarship of Teaching), interviewing people related to a Problem of Practice whose voices are missing from the research literature; examining the perspective of LGBTQ+ teachers living in the southern United States using Photovoice, etc. This project may be provided in any modality to better reach the student’s intended audience.
RESEARCH PROJECT 4:
During the final year, students will complete Research Project 3, write an Executive Summary that ties their three projects together, and write a final reflection on their doctoral journey. The Doctoral Dossier will be presented and assessed during the final Doctoral Dossier course. Additionally, students may choose to present their Doctoral Dossier work at a school-wide student conference.
Students are expected to complete the program coursework and independent research concurrently. This program is cohort-based, thus if students require a leave of absence for any reason, they will return in the appropriate course sequence with the next cohort the following year.
The following table below provides an overview of the program requirements for cohorts admitted in 2023 and later:
Cohort | Course Requirements | Comprehensive Exam | Applied Research |
---|---|---|---|
2023 and later | No | ||
*Courses and course sequences are subject to change.
Program requirements include a minimum of 90 graduate credits. Students must enter the program with a master’s degree with a minimum of 36 graduate-level credits, which will be transferred into the EdD program. If a student does not have the required 36 master’s credits, the student will be admitted on a conditional basis and must complete the additional graduate-level credits at an accredited college or university by the final semester before expected degree conferral. Students with post-master’s graduate credit in related education content completed prior to admission to the EdD program may petition to transfer in an additional 6 credits of equivalent coursework with appropriate documentation and with the approval of the EdD program director. Thus, students must complete between 48 and 54 credits at the doctoral level at JHU. The program includes the following required coursework components (subject to change):

Students who extend their program of study may be required to enroll in additional doctoral research credits.
Additionally, students admitted in 2022 must also pass an oral comprehensive examination, demonstrating attainment of competencies, and complete a Dossier Style Dissertation research project.
Students examine a Problem of Practice (POP)—an area of concern they have observed within their professional context. This POP becomes the focus of the student's Dossier Style Dissertation, which is embedded within the EdD program coursework. The Dossier Style Dissertation includes two pathways: 1) Applied Project or 2) Empirical Project Deeper Dive.
Applied Project:
Year 1 : During the first year in the program, students synthesize research literature to understand factors relevant to the POP from a broader systems perspective.
Year 2 : Students conduct an empirical study examining their POP within their professional context. Students then defend their proposal for an applied project based on their findings as well as a brief literature review that supports their rationale and justification for their proposed applied project.
Year 3 : Students create and defend their final applied project to their Doctoral Committee.
Empirical Project Deep Dive:
Year 1 : During the first year in the program, students synthesize research literature to understand factors relevant to the POP from a broader systems perspective.
Year 2 : Students design a more robust empirical study to more deeply examine their POP within their professional context. Students orally present their proposed design to their Doctoral Committee.
Year 3 : Students analyze and write up their data and orally defend their findings to their Doctoral Committee.
Although somewhat different from a traditional dissertation in its completion and focus, students are nevertheless expected to demonstrate mastery of the relevant literature, to obtain extant and/or collect additional data, and to interpret the results in light of previous studies.
All students will also demonstrate mastery of first- and second-year competencies through an oral comprehensive assessment.
Typically, we expect students to complete three years of coursework and independent research concurrently. Some students may need more than three years to complete their research, in which case they will be required to enroll in at least one credit hour per semester after completion of the required 90 credit hours.
The following table below provides an overview of the program requirements for the 2022 cohort:
Cohort | Course Requirements | Comprehensive Exam | Applied Research |
---|---|---|---|
2022 | |||
1) Applied Project OR 2) Empirical Project Deep Dive | |||
Additionally, students admitted in 2021 must also pass an oral comprehensive examination, demonstrating attainment of competencies, and complete either a Dossier Style Dissertation or Applied Dissertation research project. For information regarding the Applied Dissertation, please see the 2013-2020 Cohorts tab.

Additionally, students admitted in cohorts 2013-2021 must also pass an oral comprehensive examination, demonstrating attainment of competencies, and complete an Applied Dissertation or Dossier Style Dissertation research project. For information regarding the Dossier Style Dissertation requirements, please see the 2021 Cohort tab. Information regarding the Applied Dissertation is provided below.
Students examine a Problem of Practice (POP)—an area of concern they have observed within their professional context. This POP becomes the focus of the student's Applied Dissertation research. The Applied Dissertation is embedded within the EdD program coursework, which provides students with a unique opportunity to examine an issue important to the organization in which they are employed.
During the first year in the program, students examine their articulated POP to identify underlying causes and associated factors. During the second year of the program, students develop a potential solution, such as an intervention or policy change, and a plan to study the implementation of this intervention as well as proximal outcomes. Students will demonstrate mastery of first- and second-year competencies through written and oral comprehensive assessments, which will serve as indicators of readiness for conducting their applied research. Students will then evaluate the effectiveness of this solution as their Applied Dissertation (Year 3).
Although somewhat different from a traditional dissertation in its completion and focus, students are nevertheless expected to demonstrate mastery of the relevant literature, to obtain extant and/or collect additional data, and to interpret the results in light of previous studies. The dissertation will be presented at a final oral defense before the student’s Dissertation Advisory Committee.
Typically, students will complete three years of coursework and independent research concurrently. It is possible that some students may need more than three years to complete their research, in which case they will be required to enroll in at least one credit hour per semester after completion of the required 90 credit hours.
The following table below provides an overview of the program requirements for the 2013-2020 cohorts:

What can i do with an online doctor of education in higher education leadership degree.
Our online EdD in Higher Education Leadership prepares students for careers in educational leadership, growing their knowledge of advanced theories and practical skills so they can manage organizations, solve problems and promote positive change in higher education. Graduates of our online EdD program may advance to administrative roles, overseeing higher education institutions, programs or departments. They may work behind the scenes to assess, improve and create new curricula and instructional methods, train other educators or conduct research to advance higher education.
The median annual salary for professionals holding an EdD in Higher Education Leadership can vary significantly depending on factors such as industry, location, years of experience, specialization, and job role.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the employment of postsecondary education administrators to grow 4% from 2022 to 2032. 7 The need to replace professionals who change roles, switch careers or retire will drive most of this growth.
Our online EdD program is a 32-month, 48-credit program. Compared with a PhD in Higher Education, this credential could save you one to three years in completion time.
Earning your online EdD can put you on a path for career advancement, higher earnings and administrator-level leadership positions. An EdD is practice based, meaning it allows you to research your areas of interest and also leverage the results of your research to influence the decision-making process of an institution or organization. Pursuing an EdD means you will focus on identifying problems and developing strategies to help solve those problems. An EdD program prepares you with skills in conducting qualitative research, collecting data, conducting interviews, making observations and participating in focus groups. If time to completion is important to you, consider that EdD students generally finish their programs faster than PhD students. On average, a PhD takes five to six years to complete, with some studies showing that students regularly take as many as eight years. On the other hand, earning an EdD generally takes between three and four years. Students can complete ours in as little as 32 months.
Bring us your ambition and we’ll guide you along a personalized path to a quality education that’s designed to change your life.

“The thing I love the most about our Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership program is the faculty. Thus far, our faculty have been so supportive -- it has been the single most influential factor in continuing in the program. A special mention for Dr. Giroir, Dr. Olivier, Dr. Hellums, and Dr. Slater, as they have enlightened Cohort 8, as well as encouraged us to keep moving forward. Without their enthusiasm, wonderful course content, and continuous support, I for one might have succumbed to academic fatigue and taken a break or quit all together. Bravo to this program and its inspiring faculty!" Keith Thibodeaux, educational leadership Ed.D. student
“Two main aspects really struck me. First, the program was very practical, teaching potential school leaders practical skills to utilize in their quest to become true agents of educational leadership. Second, the program recognized me as a working professional. While some programs required sabbaticals, etc., the program at UL Lafayette really worked with us and actually tapped into our experience in our current positions to better prepare us for future leadership roles.” Donald Thornton Ed.D, educational leadership Ed.D. alum
“I believe mentoring doctoral students is all about developing a working relationship with each student that is based on open communication and a genuine concern for their overall well-being. Being available when they need help and oftentimes taking on the role of cheerleader/motivator is what I have found my students really appreciate.” Christopher Giroir Ed.D, associate professor of educational foundations & leadership
