Teaching of English EdD

The primary purpose of all doctoral programs in English Education at Teachers College is to advance knowledge relevant to the teaching and learning of English and to prepare expert teachers of English for careers as scholars, researchers, and teacher educators in the field of English education. The Ed.D. degree in English Education emphasizes professional course work with a focus on educational practice. This flexible degree allows students to select, in consultation with a faculty advisor, an array of courses that facilitate their intellectual and professional goals. The Ed.D culminates in a dissertation that often explores a more applied research focus than ones more common to a Ph.D. program. Our graduates take up applied research careers in schools, universities, and community programs. 

Experiences and Exposures: 

• World-class faculty come together with a collaborative group of students from around the world to critically engage with theoretical and pedagogical stances that underpin English Education. 
• Coursework prioritizes bridging the theory-practice gap to help students inquire into critical issues in the field, and consider what reflective educators might do in response to them. 
• Students explore individual enquiries and conduct original research into issues of vital importance to the field of English Education.

Final Admissions Deadline: January 15th

The final deadline for doctoral program applications is January 15th (with a December 1st as a priority deadline).
