The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) invites applications from institutions that are ready to engage deeply in the ongoing improvement of the Education Doctorate (EdD).

CPED is a professional learning organization of more than 160 schools of education committed to strengthening the professional practice doctorate through collective inquiry, collaboration, and sustained program improvement. Membership is not an endorsement of a finished program nor the adoption of a prescribed model. Rather, it reflects an institutional commitment—among deans, faculty, and program leaders—to engage actively in redesign, reflection, and shared learning.
