The Edgewood College Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership is currently welcoming the 9th Cohort of students this summer. New with Cohort IX is the addition of a Cohort Group in Wausau that is focused on Higher Education and Agency Leadership. With this addition, the Program now serves students
interested in Leadership at the PK- 16 level as well as leaders of other related agencies and organizations in both Madison and Wausau.

The Program results in a professional degree, the Education Doctorate (Ed.D.). It is a three-year course of study that includes 54 credits over the three years. It is a cohort-based structure, which means that all students admitted each year stay together as a learning community for all of the courses. Courses are scheduled on Saturdays, usually from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, or a Friday evening, 4 pm to 8 pm, and Saturday combination keeping the busy schedules of working professionals in mind. Summer courses have a more compressed schedule and do meet on some week days. Students are required to maintain a learning portfolio throughout the first two years and complete a written comprehensive examination. The third year of the program is focused on writing a doctoral dissertation.
