Why earn an Ed.D?
An Ed.D. from Concordia-Portland will help you gain leadership and decision-making skills through rigorous, in-depth project-based learning and purposeful collaborations. An Ed.D. is for the educator who wants to interact with academic research and make it practical — in the classroom, the school, the school district, or the community.
