PhD in Educational Studies Program

At Lesley, we define educational studies as an interdisciplinary area of inquiry that includes the examination of the individual and social processes of learning and teaching in institutional and social contexts. The Ph.D. program reinforces Lesley's commitment to scholarship and generation of new knowledge, and recognizes the value of relating theory to practice. The two specializations, Educational Leadership and Individually Designed, require 45 credits of coursework beyond the master's degree. The CAGS option is available to students matriculating in either specialization.
