Several recent studies focus on doctoral training in education administration and the quality of faculty research produced by education administration faculty (Labaree, 2004; Murphy and Vriesenga, 2004; Schulman, Golde, Conklin-Bueschel & Garabedian, 2006). These studies do not compare the faculty expectations for doctoral students completing PhD and EdD degrees. In addition, schools of education have begun to review the role and purpose for the doctoral degree in education (Carnegie Foundation, 2008). This review questions the effectiveness of each degree program and if the effectiveness is decreased as it does not address the specific goals ascertained to the degree. There is a lack of research that investigates how education administration faculty judge EdD and PhD doctoral dissertations and this study is a first attempt to address this gap within this area of research.
