Trevecca Expands Degree Options for the Acclaimed Ed.D. Program
Trevecca is reworking its nationally-ranked Ed.D. program by creating two new separate degrees to better serve leaders looking to advance their skillset and support their career trajectory. The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in organizational leadership & innovation and the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in leadership and professional practice will retain the same rigor, depth and supportive cohort model that has shaped successful graduates for years. Unique aspects of the two programs will allow students to choose a special focus, dissertation style and online or in-person modality.
Ed.D. in organizational leadership & innovation
The Ed.D. in organizational leadership & innovation is a flexible, online doctoral program designed to equip you as a practitioner-scholar capable of leading evidence-based change in your organization and field. Through specialized tracks, integrated dissertation coursework and the support of faculty and your cohort, you will develop advanced leadership expertise in strategy, analytics and AI through curriculum that aligns with the prestigious Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate. Your degree will culminate in a four-chapter Dissertation in Practice focused on solving a real organizational challenge that is meaningful to you.
Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in leadership & professional practice
The Ed.D. in leadership and professional practice is an engaging in-person doctoral program in Nashville designed for working professionals seeking to lead transformational change. Through interdisciplinary coursework, you’ll strengthen your ability to drive strategic improvement, enhance organizational culture and communicate effectively with stakeholders. Your on-campus learning experience will allow you to grow and gain perspective as a part of a collaborative community of leaders with similar goals, and you’ll complete an integrated dissertation alongside your coursework, culminating in practical solutions you can apply immediately.
