Ed.D. in Educational Leadership - K-12 Leadership

Dallas Baptist University

The EdD in Educational Leadership K-12 program is designed to produce Christ-centered servant leaders who will go into our public, charter, and private schools to make a difference in children’s lives every day. Transformational leaders are required to meet the needs of the 21st-century learner, and this practitioner’s approach will prepare educators to tackle the necessary challenges and find solutions that produce results in student achievement. A doctorate in K-12 education will provide opportunities in dynamic roles now and in the future. The 60-hour degree program is designed to be completed in 4 years, including the dissertation. All EdD K-12 students will progress through the coursework as a cohort during the first three years, and they will draft the first three chapters of the dissertation in class. The final year will be implementing your dissertation study, writing chapters 4 and 5, and defending your final paper. Although the program is practical in design, it is academically rigorous, and integration of faith and learning will be a part of every class.
