US Varsity Announces New Doctorate Course for Education Professionals

The University of Southern California (USC) has announced that it plans to offer a new doctorate course, aimed at professionals in the field of education. This programme, which has been launched by the USC Rossier School of Education, offers a doctorate in education (EdD), appropriate for those professionals who wish to progress to higher levels in the field of education. The university plans to set up a Mumbai office to offer courses on the lines of MBA programmes. 25 people will be chosen from around the world, out of which four are expected to be from India. While a PhD is aimed at individuals aspiring to be future academics, an EdD is a professional doctorate that is aimed at working professionals who wish to be high level practitioners in education.
