METHOD
• Information Gathered Represents A “Consumer’s View”
• Rutgers Ph.D. in Education Student, Hannin Rashid Compiled and Collated Information From University Websites In Fall 2011
• Focus on AAU Institutions With Practice-Research Doctorates in Psychology, Education, and Social Work
• Additional Searches Conducted in Spring 2012 To Expand Institutions & Disciplines Represented (Rutgers & J. Perry)
• Engineering, Nursing & Pharmacy Added• Samples Not Entire Universe But “Reliable” Findings 3

Summary
Some practice doctorates are designed like Ph.D. programs – require full-time study & dissertations for program completion.
Other practice doctorates have moved away from the Ph.D. model – embrace working professional as students, have moved to capstone/project requirements.
University Michigan shows variability in practice doctorate requirements within the same institution. There can be latitude in program requirements within the same institution.

Findings
Number of Specialties Vary By Discipline and Degree
Education Has More Specialties For Practice And Research Doctorates Than Other Disciplines (tentative finding)
Psychology – Several Options For Ph.D. but Psy.D. is typically in Clinical Psychology
Pharmacy – One/two options for Ph.D. and one option for Pharm.D. (tentative finding)
Specialization Offers Another Complication For “Consumers.” 20

Implications Of Findings
• CPED Can Help Member Institutions Attract Students Via Web-Based Search Engine Optimization Strategies
• CPED Should Consider Developing Program “Templates” That Member Institutions Can Adopt On A Voluntary Basis
• Other CPED Information & News Can Also Be Voluntarily Placed On Member Institution Websites
• Tend To Your Ed.D. Web-site Program Description – Contrast With Ph.D. In Education Where Applicable

Implications Of Findings
• Time to Move Beyond “Ph.D.-lite” Conceptualization of Ed.D. (whole idea behind CPED!)
• CPED Institutions Should Affirm The Importance of Providing The “Highest Level Of Professional Training For Educational Practitioners”
• To Be Successful And Deliver On This Promise, CPED Will Have To Develop “Quality Indicators” For Ed.D. Programs
• Focus On “Impact” Is A Good Start For Quality Indicator Development

Implications Of Findings
Demonstrating “Impact” Of Ed.D. Preparation Will Require Accumulation Of Practice-Based Knowledge
Demonstrating “Impact” Of Ed.D. Preparation Will Require Sharing Of Practice-Based Knowledge
Meeting The Challenges Of Accumulation and Sharing Is A Great Space For CPED To Occupy

Implications Of Findings
Evidence Of Professional Growth Based On Ed.D. Program Completion Will Come From Graduates Themselves
“Credential” Aspect Will Remain But Seems To Becoming Less Important Outside Of Higher Education Settings
Voices/Testimonials From Graduates And Their Colleagues/Supervisors In The Field Will Be Another Key “Quality” Indicator
When Local School Boards Vote To Support An Employee’s Ed.D. Training At A CPED Institution, We Have Arrived! 25
