The LMU School of Education Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice was accepted as a new member of the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate. The SOE joins more than 80 current universities in examining and improving the reliability and efficacy of professional education doctorate degree programs. LMU is one of five Jesuit schools nationally and five independent schools in California accepted into CPED.
“We’re excited to join this consortium and engage in opportunities to further strengthen our Ed.D. program that prepares socially just leaders for schools, systems and communities,” remarked Ernie Rose, professor and director of the doctoral program.
“Membership in CPED brings added national recognition and prestige to our doctoral program, which continues to drive our climb in the U.S. News and World Report rankings of the best graduate schools of education,” added Shane P. Martin, dean and professor of the LMU School of Education.
The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate is an initiative that has brought together a consortium of schools and colleges of education that work together to institute a clear distinction between the professional practice doctorate in education (Ed.D.) and the education research doctorate (Ph.D.).
