Ph.D. in Education - Self-Designed
by Walden University
The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership Ph.D. in
Education Program produces educators who can address the nation’s most
pressing educational challenges. Students examine educational theory and
practice within a broadly conceptualized curriculum. Professionals must
have defined learning goals and based on their needs, design their own
program of study.
Educators who are interested in pursuing an area that is not among the
specializations currently offered may develop their own specialization
with the approval of the faculty chair. Current students have developed
self-designed specializations in curriculum areas, such as math
education, science education, art or music education, and literacy, as
well as in discipline areas, such as English-language learning and urban
education. Walden is ideal for ambitious learners.

will develop proficiency in knowing how individuals, particularly
adults, learn most effectively, what tools and strategies best promote
learning and in what contexts, and how educational systems and policies

and universities throughout the United States providing academic and
