Best Online Ed.D. in Educational Leadership

UND's offers the best online Ed.D. in Educational Leadership in the region for flexibility and affordability.

Flexibility is critically important for our online Educational Leadership students because they are working professionals. That’s why we’ve designed the Ed.D. to be 100% online and never require a campus visit. Plus, you can use your workplace as a laboratory of practice for coursework and dissertation in practice.

Compare the cost of UND’s online Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. You’ll find it’s one of the most affordable online Ed.D. programs in the nation. All online students pay in-state tuition regardless of their residency.

Asynchronous Classes

With asynchronous classes, you do not attend class at a set time. If you need to balance work, family, and other commitments, this flexible format allows you to learn anywhere at any time.

Depending on your instructor, you’ll learn online through:

  • Lesson modules
  • Streaming video content
  • Virtual libraries
  • Posted lectures
  • Online simulations

There will be times when you interact with your instructor and classmates through online discussion boards, polls, and chat rooms.

Your learning revolves around materials that can be accessed on your own time within a set time frame. However, this is not a self-paced course. You’ll have structure and deadlines.

  • Same degree. All online programs are fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Your transcript and diploma are exactly the same as our on-campus students.
  • Same classes. You’ll take courses from UND professors, start and end the semesters at the same time and take the same classes as a student on campus.
  • Real interaction. You can ask questions, get feedback and regularly connect with your professors, peers and professionals in the field.
  • Your own academic advisor. As an invaluable go-to, they’re focused on you, your personal success and your future career.
