PhDs are advanced academic degrees that students can earn after publishing original research in the form of a dissertation. These programs may require coursework to supplement the research and can take several years to complete.

What is a PhD in Education Research? It prepares students to pursue careers in research-heavy fields by giving them experience in academic research. The focus of the program is often on creating plans to improve education. This could include finding solutions for problems such as how to increase female presence in STEM programs, how to implement wide-spread mandated standards in schools, and what the role of standardized testing should be at different levels of education. Research could involve experiencing classrooms firsthand or doing broader investigation of school systems as a whole.

Through a doctoral program, students are likely to develop writing and research skills that they can carry into careers and other aspects of life. They may also cultivate an appreciation for diversity that they can use to enrich their private and work life. Earning a PhD in education research may also help students build leadership skills.

A PhD usually takes several years to complete, and the price of the program varies depending on the university and the country. Scholarships may be available from some institutions.

Upon completion of the degree, students may choose to pursue a career as a coordinator, consultant, or advisor for academic institutions. Job titles could include academic learning specialist, education data analyst, program evaluation manager, strategy and learning director, or school leadership consultant. There may also be advisory positions available with policy makers who create academic standards for students in a large area. Many doctoral students choose to continue their research by taking positions as professors at a university.
