EdD in Education Program
Higher Education & Social Change
WISR’s largest program has nearly always been our Doctoral program in the emerging, interdisciplinary field of “higher education and social change.
This program provides advanced, individualized learning and professional training for educators, community service professionals, community and intellectual activists, and other adults who are concerned with the relations among social change, education, psychology, and community service or community leadership and development–in everyday practice.
It is especially aimed toward people who are concerned with serious inquiry, and inquiry-based action in order to educate fellow professionals and/or the general public in specific ways that will also lead to constructive, broad and long-term social change.
It enrolls students who hold positions of leadership in public and community agencies, who are or who eventually become college instructors and professors, and who are self-employed consultants, workshop leaders, and published writers on topics of professional concern.
