The Ed.D. is a practitioner-oriented program with a curriculum and schedule designed around the needs of adult learners. This 67 credit program incorporates coursework in leadership, education, and research followed by a comprehensive exam and dissertation. The program is $505 per credit with possible tuition reduction for SMU faculty and staff.

This program provides relevant education to students who have an interest in leadership, however, a background or interest in education is not necessary. Students may choose to follow one of three curricular paths: K-12 Educational Leadership, Higher Education Leadership, or Organizational Leadership. The program typically takes about three years to complete the coursework and an additional 2-5 years to complete the comprehensive exam and dissertation.
