"Originally when I was considering a doctoral program, I was looking to transform into a leader with a greater purpose. At Benerd, I found exceptional opportunities leading to new possibilities beyond my imagination. One of the most unique things that I experienced in the EdD 程序 was selecting the 社会企业家精神 Path, which pushed me to my greatest potential landing me first place in the 3-Minute Thesis Competition, designing a Mental Health Mobile Application and accepting the invitation of a prized professor to participate in the recent 9th Social Business Day Conference in Bangkok, 泰国, while launching a startup business as a direct impact of my current re搜索."
An important feature of the Pacific program is the Applied Inquiry coursework. Through a series of four courses, you complete a large percentage of your dissertation work during your regular courses. Our students begin working toward completing their dissertation proposal in the first semester. The entire draft proposal is targeted for completion in the first semester of Year 3.
A distinctive element of our program is the structured individual and group support that continues through graduation. Traditionally, the dissertation writing process is an isolated, individual endeavor. While our dissertations consist of individual re搜索, we have unique cohort support structures in place that help you to move through the process with others. Students continue meeting as a group until they defend their dissertation.
Our faculty work with each student in deciding which type of dissertation is most appropriate to address a "problem of practice," with the ultimate goal of producing innovative and creative solutions using one of several methodologies including Action 研究, 设计思考, 项目评估, 及个案研究.
