A Doctorate degree is one of the best ways to showcase yourself as a true expert in a specific field and stand out among the rest of the crowd. As of 2018, just 4.5% of the US population has a Doctorate degree and you could be the next one. The CUC program offers a Ph.D and EdD program for a Doctorate in Sports Leadership. What’s the difference between a Ph.D and EdD?
Great question!
The Ph.D is a research based degree that has an additional capstone requirement that the EdD degree does not have. The Ph.D is 67 credit hours and the EdD is 61 credit hours. Both degrees can take as little as 4 years to complete.
