Dr. Zenas Rainey
EdD Graduate
The Spalding University online Doctor of Education in Leadership (EdD) program has been an incredible asset in my academic journey. The EdD is a transformative program that challenges and keeps you engaged every step of the way. The professors are experts in their fields, supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success.
The collaborative nature of the EdD program, combined with a forward-thinking curriculum tailored to current industry needs, allowed me to bridge classroom knowledge with practical solutions in the workplace. This program's flexibility allowed me to further my education and professional development without sacrificing other crucial aspects of my life. The greatest convenience proved to be the supportive online platform which empowered me to reach my academic aspirations and maintain a reasonable work-life balance.
The EdD program's well-rounded approach enhanced my technical skills and honed my critical thinking and leadership skills, unveiling new possibilities for growth. Dr. Kristen Harris's analogy of the doctoral degree in education as "not just a terminal degree; it is a terminal, similar to an airport, propelling people toward uncharted territories brimming with knowledge and potential" rings true.
The online EdD program was instrumental in pursuing my passion and reaching my academic goals. It allowed me to connect with a diverse group of individuals from different geographic locations and varying perspectives. Thank you, Spalding University.
