Abstract
This program evaluation of the University of Pittsburgh EdD program was conducted to determine potential changes and modifications to create a more successful EdD program. The study had three purposes. The first was to determine how the Foundations and Practitioner Inquiry courses were structured to accommodate areas of concentration (ARCOs) and how that had changed over time. The second was to determine how students thought the diversity of ARCOs contributed to the achievement of their ARCO and program goals. The third was to investigate what other aspects within the EdD program had contributed to student learning goals in order to determine how Foundations and Practitioner Inquiry courses could more clearly meet ARCO and program goals. The data suggested students did not perceive the program in the same way the School of Education outlined it in that the Foundations and Practitioner Inquiry courses were more connected to General Education versus ARCO. Several suggestions were made to help connect the intent of the coursework with the program goals.
