Northeastern University Graduate Programs

College of Professional Studies

Northeastern University’s online Doctor of Education program provides experienced adult learners, working professionals, and scholar-practitioners from diverse backgrounds and perspectives with the practical knowledge and experience they need to transform the learning landscape. Students gain innovative approaches to create authentic change in their communities. The program was selected as the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate's Program of the Year for 2022-2023.

The Doctor of Education program is designed to be completed in three to four years of study—following a fast-paced quarter system in lieu of a traditional semester format. Students choose from five concentrations to create a curriculum that matches personal and professional interests. The program's dissertation in practice process will begin at the onset of your coursework as you identify your problem of practice and develop an action plan—incorporating cycles of data collection and analysis, collaboration, change work, and reflection—culminating in the dissemination of your action research findings. Our students come from diverse disciplines and professions, seeking more than just a degree. You'll gain a practical education that translates to your everyday working environment.

While all EdD courses can be completed online (except for hybrid courses in Seattle and Charlotte), annual in-person two-day residencies are held on campus. Residencies focus on networking and tools for career success and allow you to connect with faculty and fellow scholars to share knowledge and experience. You'll attend residencies* in your first and second years of the program at one of our campuses in Boston, Charlotte, or Seattle.

The Northeastern Doctor of Education degree is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) and was selected as Program of the Year by the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate Program for 2022-2023.

*Please note: International students enrolling in the online EdD program will be provided with an option to complete the residency through online participation in interactive sessions with fellow scholars offered during the residency period.

Cities are usually characterized by diverse populations with rich communities made up of many different races, classes, languages, and nationalities, and this dynamism is a chief strength of urban areas. However, urban schools typically serve populations characterized by high concentrations of poverty and therefore face difficult choices about how to allocate scarce resources. Urban Leadership is designed for educational professionals interested in exploring this dual nature of urban schools through a deep understanding of a Problem of Practice based in their unique context of professional practice. This area of interest prepares educational leaders to work in urban environments through a focus on topics such as building a strength-based understanding of the complexities of urban communities, engaging the latest research on urban educational programs, developing strategies for program improvement, and building partnerships with families, communities, and other organizations.

Online PhD in Education Administration Programs

Teacher taking PhD in Education Administration online

Most candidates for a PhD in Education Administrate are passionate about education and have committed themselves to a career of teaching and leading others.

If this sounds like you, earning a PhD in Education Administration online could be the opportunity to go further with your education and profession. Education administration is relevant to school leaders at all levels. Whether your work focuses on early childhood, K-12, or college education, you can benefit from studies in school admin.

Your classes may address:

  • Business practices
  • Curriculum selection and evaluation
  • Diversity and social justice
  • Education law
  • Neuroscience
  • School technology
  • Research and data
  • Teacher supervision
  • Trends in education

A concentration for your doctoral degree in education would let you hone in on a particular aspect of this field. For example, you might want to specialize in leadership for a certain age group, such as preschool learners or college students. You might also prefer to focus on a topic like curriculum planning or school technology.

PhD programs often require a dissertation. That’s a research and writing project where you delve deep into studies on a topic of your choice. Many students spend several years on their dissertations. Some education doctorates require a practicum or an internship. For that, you’d work in a real-world educational setting and try putting classroom lessons into practice.

There is a variety of online PhD in Education Administration programs available. Some may be 100% online, but many require some in-person residencies. They are typically limited in number so that even busy professionals can make them work. Residencies provide opportunities to interact with faculty members and fellow student in a new way.

This degree program is appropriate for:

  • Early childhood directors
  • School principals
  • District superintendents
  • Higher education administrators
  • College presidents
  • Curriculum coordinators
  • Textbook publishers
  • Social service directors
  • Workplace development managers

Some PhD programs are designed to lead to licensure. After graduating, you might meet your state’s requirements for becoming a school principal or superintendent.

Other programs are non-licensure tracks. They’re typically designed for people who already hold the appropriate licenses or for those interested in roles that don’t require licensure.

Common Online Education Administration Doctorate Concentrations

You may want to choose a specialization area for your degree. As you do, it’s helpful to keep your career goals in mind so that your coursework will support your ambitions.

Here are some common PhD education administration concentrations:

  • Curriculum and Instruction . If you lead through curriculum planning—such as an instructional coordinator or a textbook editor—this program could enhance the work you do. The topics covered might include data collection, classroom technology, curriculum evaluation, and brain science.
  • Early Childhood Administration . If your focus is on the education of young children, typically from birth through age 8, then you may appreciate the unique perspective provided by an early childhood program. In your classes, you might learn about literacy development, project-based teaching, and family relationships.
  • Higher Education . Whether your area of expertise is a community college or a major university, this concentration track can help you become a stronger leader in that context. You may study college trends, legal issues, school organization, and management practices.
  • K-12 Administration . This program could be useful for a career as a school principal or a superintendent. In addition to classes on teacher evaluation and curriculum selection, you may study finance, human resources, facility management, and education law.
  • Leadership in Schools . This concentration, which may apply to K-12 and college administrators, will focus specifically on shaping you as an influential leader. The courses might cover change management, mentorships, and education advocacy.

Your school could also offer other concentration tracks or give you the opportunity to customize your own specialization.

Education Administration Careers & Salaries

Education Administration Careers & Salaries

If you plan to earn an online PhD in Education Leadership, you may have your sights set on becoming a principal. Nearly every K-12 school, whether public or private, has a principal. Some have assistant principal positions as well, which could help you work your way toward the head role.

Schools’ administrative teams include people other than just principals, though. For example, instructional coordinators or curriculum specialists may have a background in administration. Those with experience as a K-12 administrator may eventually qualify to become a school superintendent. A district’s superintendent has the role of a chief executive for the school system.

In addition to local superintendents, there may also be regional and state education superintendents in your area. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , the median annual salary for jobs in education and training is $57,220, but a doctorate could help you qualify to earn well above this average.

Training and Development Managers $120,130
Top Executives $98,980
Elementary, Middle, and High School Principals $98,420
Postsecondary Education Administrators $96,910
Social and Community Service Managers $74,000
Writers and Authors $69,510
Postsecondary Education Teachers $63,910
Instructional Coordinators $63,740
Editors $63,350
Preschool and Childcare Center Directors $47,310

Requirements for these jobs may vary among different school systems and states. Administrators are needed for younger children’s education as well.

While being the director of a preschool or a daycare doesn’t usually require a PhD, this level of education might help you secure a leadership role at the national level. For example, some graduates may work for a childcare chain or an early childhood advocacy group. Others may head up a community organization that supports kids’ learning and wellbeing.

Colleges need people with administrative training as well. Positions include student affairs coordinator, registrar, provost, academic dean, and even university president. Having a school administration PhD could also lead to teaching classes in the education department.

Your background could also be relevant to jobs in the training sector. Some graduates go on to lead workshops or development initiatives for educators or business professionals. A doctoral degree in education could also be useful in curriculum development. Some professionals in this sector work as writers or editors.

Educational Administration PhD Curriculum & Courses

Students taking Educational Administration PhD

Schools require certain core classes in their education administration program. You may also be able to shape your studies through concentration tracks, elective courses, or the research area you choose.

Here are some course examples:

  • Change Management : You’ll learn how to lead school organizations through times of transition, and you may also discuss the role that change plays in staying effective and relevant.
  • Community Relationships : The studies in this class may equip you with tools and ideas for fostering strong relationships between your school leadership, students, parents, and the community at large.
  • Curriculum Leadership : Curriculum can play a key role in students’ educational experiences, so this course focuses on selecting, adapting, or changing the resources used in your school.
  • Diversity in Education : During this class, you’ll explore ways to respect the diversity in your schools and to offer educational experiences that reach learners of all backgrounds.
  • Education Research : As a doctoral candidate, it’s necessary to understand the techniques and methodology for conducting research and evaluating data.
  • Evaluation and Supervision : Administrators are often responsible for overseeing classroom teachers, so you may learn how to conduct evaluations, provide directions, and encourage professional development.
  • Finance for Schools : You’ll discuss funding sources, district budgets, and how to make financial decisions that are beneficial for students, teachers, and a school’s long-term good.
  • Leadership for Higher Education : If your goal is to work in a college setting, you may take one or more classes about higher education challenges, opportunities, policies, and innovations.
  • Policies in Education : This class covers national laws and regulations that guide educational practice, and it could also address advocacy for changes.
  • Program Planning and Evaluation : You may learn how to assess community needs, design programs to match, and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your initiatives.

This type of program may also include one or more practicum experiences.

How to Choose an Online Education Administration PhD Program

Woman taking Online Education Administration PhD

Getting a doctorate is quite the commitment, so you may want to make sure you choose a college that will be a good fit for you. It’s helpful to consider the many characteristics of a school before you make your final decision. Here are some common deciding factors:

  • Accreditation . Selecting a school with regional accreditation is a top priority for most professionals. You may also be interested in a program that has programmatic accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
  • Concentrations . You might be able to pick a degree program that focuses on school principalship, curriculum planning, higher education administration, or another aspect of this field.
  • Degree type . While a PhD can be a prestigious degree choice, you could also consider getting a Doctor of Education (EdD), which is geared toward practitioners rather than academics.
  • Funding . You may be able to qualify for a partial or full scholarship at some colleges.
  • Licensure . Not all PhD programs lead to licensure, so you might need to choose carefully if you require an administrative license.
  • Prerequisites . For admission, some programs require you to have professional experience in the education field or be a licensed teacher or principal.
  • Program requirements . Depending on the program, you might write a dissertation, complete an internship, or do a capstone project. You might also have a combination of these requirements.
  • Residencies . You might be required to visit the school’s campus a few times during your doctoral studies. When researching programs, you might want to pay attention to how often these sessions are required and how long you’ll need to stay each time.
  • Time commitment . You can expect to spend at least 3 years in a PhD program, and it may take you closer to 5 years. If you think you’ll need extra time, you can look for a school that allows up to 8 or 9 years in the program.

Selecting a PhD program is an impactful decision, and careful consideration could help you make the right choice for you.

Education Administration Ph.D Admissions Requirements

Man prepares requirements for his Online Education Administration PhD

PhD admissions can be quite selective, so it’s helpful to create an application packet that highlights your strengths. Each college sets its own rules for PhD admission, but common requirements include:

  • Academic and professional references
  • GRE score (not required by all programs)
  • Resume that demonstrates relevant professional experience
  • Transcripts from previous undergraduate and graduate studies, including any completed school administration certificate online program
  • Writing samples

Not all schools require you to have a master’s degree or a set amount of experience in the field of education.

Educational Administration Doctoral Programs Accreditation

University offering Educational Administration Doctoral Programs

As an education professional, you likely know the value of a reputable school. To ensure that you attend a quality institution, it’s beneficial to pick a college or university that holds regional accreditation.

There are seven regional accreditors in the US. You can visit the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) online to verify that your school is accredited by a recognized agency. Regional accreditation increases the transferability of your studies and enhances the respectability of your degree. An accredited degree might be required for state licensure or for schools to consider you a serious job candidate.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

Educational Administration Doctoral Financial Aid

School administration jobs can pay well, but you first have to get the education that will help qualify you for those roles.

As you think about how you’re going to pay for a doctoral degree, you can fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) . As a graduate student, you may be eligible for state and federal loans. Grants aren’t as common at this level as they are for undergrads, but your state may issue some grants to high-need graduate students.

Some colleges are able to provide free PhD enrollment in exchange for teaching and research assistance. Online schools don’t always provide that opportunity, but some might. If you can’t get a free ride, you might still qualify for institutional scholarships or fellowships.

Your employer may contribute to your tuition costs also. School districts often have programs to help their teachers or administrators get more education.

Is Education Administration a Good Career?

Yes, education administration is a good career for many professionals. In this career path, you can know that you’re making a difference for students, teachers, and communities. In addition, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that this is a line of work with the potential to command an above-average salary.

For instance, the median annual pay for administrators in a college, university, and professional school is $98,180. The median wage for K-12 principals in local public schools is $98,870 (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Among both college administrators and school principals, the top earners make well over six figures each year.

What Can You Do with a PhD in Educational Administration?

A PhD is often a research-focused degree. After completing your doctoral studies, you may choose to launch a career in academia. Some PhD graduates conduct research about school and learning practices or teach education classes at the college level.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, teachers in college education departments earn a median of $63,910 annually. This degree may also be useful for working in school settings. Examples include being a junior high principal, a school district superintendent, or an elementary curriculum coordinator.

Some education professionals work as a college registrar or a university provost. The highest-paid postsecondary school administrators make over $190,770 each year (Bureau of Labor Statistics).

How Much Money Can You Make with a PhD in Education Administration?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most K-12 school principals earn between $61,480 and $153,520 each year. Schools run by local municipalities usually pay more than private schools.

If you select an educational administration doctorate that doesn’t require a dissertation, you might be able to finish in about 3 years. Your timeframe will also depend on how many credits you need to earn and whether you enroll part-time or full-time.

Programs that involve a dissertation often take 3 to 5 years to complete with full-time study, depending on how quickly you do your dissertation research and writing. Some colleges set a maximum length of time you can be enrolled, often 8 or 9 years.

What’s the Difference Between a PhD in Educational Leadership vs. Educational Administration?

There are a lot of similarities between degrees in educational leadership and educational administration. Even still, you may want to consider the differences as you decide which program to select.

Some schools offer a doctorate that combines both administration and leadership into one program.

What’s the Difference Between an EdD vs. PhD in Educational Administration?

While you’re probably pretty familiar with the idea of a PhD, you may not be as familiar with an EdD in Educational Administration. Knowing the differences can help you decide which degree path is better for you.

Whether you want to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or a Doctor of Education (EdD) in Education Administration will likely depend on your professional goals.

Is a PhD in Education Administration Worth It?

online doctoral programs in education administration

Yes, a PhD in Education Administration is worth it for many students. Education is vital to a community’s success. With a doctorate degree in education administration, you could potentially play an essential role in developing strong schools and effective classrooms.

Getting Your PhD in Education Administration Online

Education is important in every community. Strong schools are good for students, families, teachers, and beyond. As a leader in education, you could help make a positive difference for others and encourage schools to be their best.

Some education professionals accomplish those goals as education researchers, college professors, or school administrators. A PhD in Education Administration could help you develop your expertise and qualifications for a range of academic and leadership roles.

  • Student services
  • Higher education administration
  • Academic support leadership
  • Housing and auxiliary services

Join a program that fosters success

CSU’s Ph.D. in educational leadership sets itself apart with a 95% retention rate of its students, much higher than the national average of 50%. Here are a few reasons why:

  • The program’s online format allows you to obtain a doctorate while remaining employed full time.
  • With a cohort structure, the same group of students begins, proceeds through, and completes the program together. This fosters support and allows you to network with others across the country who hold similar positions in higher education institutions.
  • Faculty members provide frequent and meaningful opportunities for one-on-one interactions through video conferencing, online discussions, email, and text.

John Carmichael, a graduate of the program, had this to say:

“You hear stories of people who get lost in Ph.D. programs and a decade goes by and they’re still working on their dissertation or taking another course. That has not been at all the experience for me, or I think any of the other people in this program.”

Gain real-world insight from scholar-practitioners

Learn from active scholars who incorporate their experience as administrators and teachers into coursework. The faculty in this online Ph.D. in higher education are skilled educators with industry expertise and extensive careers in higher education, including former vice presidents and college presidents.

The higher education leadership Ph.D. is a distance-delivered program with some unique characteristics. Much of your student work is accomplished online during two weekly sessions of 2.5 hours total using video conferencing. These online interactions, plus face-to-face meetings on the CSU Fort Collins campus once per year, help create a cohesive cohort of students.

The next on-campus meeting dates for the HEL program will be:

July 17-21, 2023

The student-student relationship adds a personal dimension to the small group activities that are an integral part of the program. The student-faculty relationship is enhanced by the small cohort size (10-12 students), the fact that faculty are experienced educators, and the predominate use of papers rather than exams for learning and grading.

The program is very selective and looks for a diverse group of students. Applicants must have experience working in higher education, but that experience can come from a college or university anywhere in the country — or even the world. If you have worked as a student services administrator, or if you are interested in moving toward higher administration in any area of a college or university, this may be the program for you.

Alex C. Lange

Alex C. Lange

Dr. Alex C. Lange is a coordinator and assistant professor of higher education in the School of Education at CSU. Dr. Lange aims to help higher education professionals and researchers live up to their institutions' missions of quality, inclusiveness, and transformation for all members of campus communities. They study students minoritized by race, gender, sexuality, and ability, as well as the social forces that marginalize them during college. Their largest, ongoing project is a national, longitudinal study of transgender college students' journeys through undergraduate education. This work examines how transgender students enter into, develop within, and exit from higher education. Some of Dr. Lange's recent projects and collaborations include how LGBTQ+ students thrive in college, considerations for critical approaches to college student development, and the in/visibility of race and racism in LGBTQ higher education scholarship.

“When I think about how I will use this degree, it will be about creating humanizing experiences and liberatory spaces where students can show up as their full, authentic selves and thrive in higher education. What really spoke to me about the program here at CSU was the faculty and their commitment to equity and justice. They really center our humanity in this experience.”

“The more I got involved on campus and in the community, the more I realized that my real passion was for education. I think this program has empowered me to re-envision how I think about my own possibilities. I’m learning theories and immediately putting them into practice. That has really enriched my learning experience and challenged my thinking in a variety of ways.”

"There’s value in seeing that I can get my Ph.D. while I still have a full-time job. One reason I chose this CSU program is that it provides synchronous learning, and everybody would be online together. We’ve been a cohort together since the very beginning, and there’s a lot of power in that.”

FACT SHEET: President   Biden Announces New Actions to Keep Families   Together

Since his first day in office, President Biden has called on Congress to secure our border and address our broken immigration system. As Congressional Republicans have continued to put partisan politics ahead of national security – twice voting against the toughest and fairest set of reforms in decades – the President and his Administration have taken actions to secure the border, including:

  • Implementing executive actions to bar migrants who cross our Southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum when encounters are high;
  • Deploying record numbers of law enforcement personnel, infrastructure, and technology to the Southern border;
  • Seizing record amounts of fentanyl at our ports of entry;
  • Revoking the visas of CEOs and government officials outside the U.S. who profit from migrants coming to the U.S. unlawfully; and
  • Expanding efforts to dismantle human smuggling networks and prosecuting individuals who violate immigration laws.

President Biden believes that securing the border is essential. He also believes in expanding lawful pathways and keeping families together, and that immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, paying taxes and contributing to their communities, are part of the social fabric of our country. The Day One immigration reform plan that the President sent to Congress reflects both the need for a secure border and protections for the long-term undocumented. While Congress has failed to act on these reforms, the Biden-Harris Administration has worked to strengthen our lawful immigration system. In addition to vigorously defending the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals) policy, the Administration has extended Affordable Care Act coverage to DACA recipients and streamlined, expanded, and instituted new reunification programs so that families can stay together while they complete the immigration process.  Still, there is more that we can do to bring peace of mind and stability to Americans living in mixed-status families as well as young people educated in this country, including Dreamers. That is why today, President Biden announced new actions for people who have been here many years to keep American families together and allow more young people to contribute to our economy.   Keeping American Families Together

  • Today, President Biden is announcing that the Department of Homeland Security will take action to ensure that U.S. citizens with noncitizen spouses and children can keep their families together.
  • This new process will help certain noncitizen spouses and children apply for lawful permanent residence – status that they are already eligible for – without leaving the country.
  • These actions will promote family unity and strengthen our economy, providing a significant benefit to the country and helping U.S. citizens and their noncitizen family members stay together.
  • In order to be eligible, noncitizens must – as of June 17, 2024 – have resided in the United States for 10 or more years and be legally married to a U.S. citizen, while satisfying all applicable legal requirements. On average, those who are eligible for this process have resided in the U.S. for 23 years.
  • Those who are approved after DHS’s case-by-case assessment of their application will be afforded a three-year period to apply for permanent residency. They will be allowed to remain with their families in the United States and be eligible for work authorization for up to three years. This will apply to all married couples who are eligible.  
  • This action will protect approximately half a million spouses of U.S. citizens, and approximately 50,000 noncitizen children under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a U.S. citizen.

Easing the Visa Process for U.S. College Graduates, Including Dreamers

  • President Obama and then-Vice President Biden established the DACA policy to allow young people who were brought here as children to come out of the shadows and contribute to our country in significant ways. Twelve years later, DACA recipients who started as high school and college students are now building successful careers and establishing families of their own.
  • Today’s announcement will allow individuals, including DACA recipients and other Dreamers, who have earned a degree at an accredited U.S. institution of higher education in the United States, and who have received an offer of employment from a U.S. employer in a field related to their degree, to more quickly receive work visas.
  • Recognizing that it is in our national interest to ensure that individuals who are educated in the U.S. are able to use their skills and education to benefit our country, the Administration is taking action to facilitate the employment visa process for those who have graduated from college and have a high-skilled job offer, including DACA recipients and other Dreamers. 

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

An Overview of the IELTS

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to measure English proficiency for educational, vocational and immigration purposes. The IELTS measures an individual's ability to communicate in English across four areas of language: listening , reading , writing and speaking . The IELTS is administered jointly by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English Language Assessment at over 1,100 test centres and 140 countries. These test centres supervise the local administration of the test and recruit, train and monitor IELTS examiners.

IELTS tests are available on 48 fixed dates each year, usually Saturdays and sometimes Thursdays, and may be offered up to four times a month at any test centre, including Elektrostal' depending on local needs. Go to IELTS test locations to find a test centre in or nearby Elektrostal' and to check for upcoming test dates at your test centre.

Test results are available online 13 days after your test date. You can either receive your Test Report Form by post or collect it from the Test Centre. You will normally only receive one copy of the Test Report Form, though you may ask for a second copy if you are applying to the UK or Canada for immigration purposes - be sure to specify this when you register for IELTS. You may ask for up to 5 copies of your Test Report Form to be sent directly to other organisations, such as universities.

There are no restrictions on re-sitting the IELTS. However, you would need to allow sufficient time to complete the registration procedures again and find a suitable test date.
