- Description
- The Doctor of Education is designed to empower students to bring about solutions to complex problems of practice in their local context, while leveraging a global network to magnify students’ boundless experiential learning to build a more socially just world. The dissertation in practice, the culminating component of the degree, is designed to prepare leaders who can construct and apply knowledge to transform their organizations and communities through laboratories of practice where students implement change and then measure and analyze the impact to improve their professional practice. This knowledge is the start of students’ potential for meaningful change work. Students magnify their ability to generate socially just change by leveraging Northeastern University’s global network of students, alumni, employers, and entrepreneurs.
