Leadership and Adult Learning in Organizations EDD
The Online EdD in Adult Learning Program responds to the needs of higher education administrators, K12 educators, adult education instructors, adult education curriculum developers, corporate trainers,
and instructional designers by offering a real-world program of study. The online program is designed to
equip professionals with the essential instructional and training strategies necessary for adults working
in industry, education, healthcare, and non-profit organizations. Based on a rigorous and meaningful
program of study that culminates in a research-based dissertation, doctoral students will acquire
knowledge in adult learning theory and practice; learn to develop programs that specifically respond to
the learning needs of adults; and master leadership and management skills that address the dynamic
changes in organizations and the global challenges impacting the current adult workforce. Note: The EdD
does not provide the necessary coursework for students to obtain advanced certification. The EdD
program is not an avenue for principal or superintendent certification. Dissertation
