Educators looking for a career boost may consider a PhD in education. We rank the most affordable online PhD degree programs in education.
If you’ve ever wanted to teach in a more advanced field, you’ve probably thought about getting a PhD in education. Online doctoral degree programs could be the opportunity you are looking for.
Professionals with this esteemed degree have become college presidents, superintendents of schools, academic deans, professors, and many other positions. People pick this job path because of the progress and sense of fulfillment it offers.
However, online learning opportunities that result in a fully online PhD of education are difficult to find. Luckily, several Doctor of Education (EdD) online programs are available for working professionals who still want to obtain a doctorate degree for career advancement. Below we’ve listed 20 of the most affordable online doctoral degree programs in PhD and EdD.
Doctoral students gain essential skills that will enable them to effect good change in various educational settings.
What is the difference between an online phd and an online edd doctorate degree.
The Doctor of Philosophy, or PhD, an academic title/degree, focuses on field research and strategies for helping working teachers improve their performance in the classroom. PhD degrees often allow online students to choose a focus, such as a curriculum and education, design, leadership, or administration.
An online doctor of education is a valuable professional qualification. This degree is for experienced teachers serious about advancing into leadership and administrative positions. Programs may contain broad-based academic research applications but typically center on leadership theory and practice.
The intriguing aspect of this degree is that students might discover similar employment options. Although most doctoral programs have quite particular curricula, academics and practitioners sometimes overlap in education.
Bottom Line: An online PhD in education focuses on academia and research, while an online EdD focuses on graduates moving into leadership positions within a school.
Although each school has a specific curriculum for affordable online doctoral programs in education, most address the same fundamental ideas. Research, writing, and critical-thinking skills are often improved by students seeking an education doctorate. However, specific courses frequently differ by specialization or emphasis.
Qualitative and quantitative research, diversity, and educational leadership and management are a few of the most common courses of online doctorate programs in education. The program’s conclusion can be a capstone project or a traditional dissertation.
Some institutions provide a certain educational specialization. Others offer a wide range of options for students who want to match their specialization to their professional aspirations.
Aspiring college instructors could find interest in doctoral programs with specializations in adult education, curriculum studies, or urban and multicultural education. Leadership in organizations, leadership in education, and global executive are additional popular specializations.
A requirement of many doctoral programs is an internship. Although most education doctoral applicants already have work experience in the field, doctoral internships assist students in getting ready for prestigious leadership positions in education administration or research.
A DIP or capstone requirement is frequently the final step in a doctor of education degree. The dissertation and capstone allow students to demonstrate the breadth of knowledge they received throughout a program and their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, even though they may differ in structure and delivery.
Both capstone projects and dissertations demand protracted planning and preparation over several semesters. The most typical output of a dissertation is a written research paper, which students must defend in front of an advisor panel. A capstone often consists of a final project demonstrating the student’s practical expertise in their field of study.
The cost of earning a PhD in education is significant. Luckily, there are affordable online doctorate degrees in education and there are ways to make sure they are as affordable as possible.
Most colleges and universities charge more for out-of-state students, so attending college in your own state will almost always be a cheaper option. There are even some schools that offer a flat-rate tuition, which means that in-state and out-of-state students pay the same per credit cost.
Earning an online doctorate in education degree as opposed to an on-campus doctorate degree can be more affordable because you will save money on expenses like housing, transportation, and certain campus fees.
It is common for online doctoral students in education to continue working while completing their degree program. Earning a living while going to school can ultimately reduce your dependence on student loan debt.
Affordable online doctorate degrees in education are possible if you are able to take advantage of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and loans.
Check out the Federal Student Aid website for more information.
Bottom Line: An affordable online PhD in education doctoral degree or an online EdD degree is possible when you factor in things like in-state tuition, financial aid, grants, and scholarships.

UCL Hebrew & Jewish Studies
23 August 2024
Candidates should submit a 200-word summary of their PhD research by midnight on Sunday 15 September 2024.
Be a part of Limmud Festival’s inaugural PhD programme, created to build a network of emerging academics in the field of Jewish studies across the UK! For the first time, Limmud will award day places for up to ten PhD students working in Jewish studies (including but not limited to history, literature, art, Torah, politics, sociology, anthropology) to attend Festival 2024 from 22 to 25 December 2024 in Birmingham
Selected candidates will be required to contribute two sessions, which will be highlighted in the Festival programme and given personalised marketing to advertise our cohort of PhD researchers:
This could be an introduction to the topic, part of a thesis chapter, a deep dive into a source of their choice, or something discovered in a rabbit hole! Limmud is all about learning and we’re excited to hear all about new research in Jewish studies in the UK. This also acts as an opportunity for PhD researchers to present their work to a different kind of audience, beyond an academic conference, and build experience in public outreach and engagement.
Candidates may suggest an academic they would like to invite to Festival (although this cannot be guaranteed) or choose a speaker already part of our Festival 2024 programme (Limmud will share details to support this). Collaborative sessions may be a co-written presentation, an ‘in conversation’ style related to a recent publication, a roundtable, or any other creative ideas the candidate might have! We are keen to promote mentoring opportunities between PhD researchers and more senior academics in Jewish studies, facilitating feedback and dialogue across lines of experience, and demystifying academic hierarchies.
Candidates should submit a 200-word summary of their PhD research, as well as suggestions for the two sessions they might offer (thesis presentation and collaborative session, 100 words each) via the online form by midnight on Sunday 15 September 2024.
What is limmud .
Limmud was founded over forty years ago as a UK Jewish educators’ conference. It has become an inspirational, volunteer-led learning organisation which seeks to create unrivalled opportunities for teaching, learning, networking, innovating, and connecting. To make Festival happen, over 100 volunteers and a small full-time office staff put Festival together.
Limmud events happen globally, from Belarus to Belgium, New York to the Negev and Turkey to Toronto. Limmud Festival UK is our flagship event, attracting over 2,700 participants from all ages and backgrounds. You can read more about our mission and values at www.limmud.org .
Limmud Festival will take place from 22nd to 25th December 2024, with a pre-Festival Shabbat (attended by over 600 people) on 20th to 21st December.
Unfortunately, not. We intend for the whole of Festival to be in person this year and as such this invitation is to present in-person only.
As part of the PhD programme, selected candidates will offer two sessions. To facilitate this, candidates will be offered a day pass to Festival 2024 for free, which includes an entire day of programming and Kosher meals.
As a volunteer-run charity with a mission to enable learning for as many people as possible, we cannot offer direct payment for your sessions beyond the discount outlined above, but we hope that there is tremendous reward in the experience of participating at Limmud Festival. In case you haven’t done so before, here is a little flavour of what it is like.
