We are leaving in a couple of days for Syracuse, NY to attending the "hooding" of our daughter as she officially receives her Doctor of Education Degree. She is currently Vice President of Onondaga Community Collage.
In the United States, the Ed.D. and the Ph.D. in education are both recognized for appointment as a lecturer or professor in a university. Majors within the Ed.D. may include: counseling, curriculum and instruction/curriculum and teaching, educational administration, educational leadership, education policy, educational psychology, educational technology, higher education, or language/linguistics.
I wanted her to be a talk show host, but she declined. She insists now that we address her as Dr. Duffy.
