Education Specialist (EdS)

The Education Specialist is a postgraduate degree unique to the field of education, considered more advanced than a master’s degree but generally requiring less coursework than a PhD or EdD. For professionals who already have a master’s degree, an EdS is an excellent pathway to the next level without the time or cost of most doctoral degrees.
