Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction

Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction
with Specialization in Curriculum Leadership from Northern Illinois University

This professional degree is designed for superior teachers, administrators, service personnel, scholars of education, and those who may wish to teach at the college level.  An integral part of the program is preparation for research responsibilities as producers and consumers.

The specialization in curriculum leadership focuses on students' future roles in society and in education as insightful and responsive leaders, with cultural, moral, and ethical questions used as major themes of the doctoral program.  A commitment to scholarship and research is required of students to enable them to understand the future needs of society, educational institutions, and students.

Classes meet at the Professional Development Alliance in Joliet 1 night a week.
