About Adult Teaching

The Ph.D. in Education program produces leaders who can address the nation’s most pressing educational challenges. In fact, it requires educators to come to the program with defined learning goals, and challenges them to design their own program of study.

Educators face unprecedented challenges today, with national trends toward standardized testing, teacher and educational leader shortages, expanding populations of children with special needs, and persistently limited funding for public education. Today's education leaders need a degree that gives them resources to tackle these challenges.
