Abstract

Distance Education Program Design
This introductory article presents innovations from the 2024 Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) Program of the Year winner and finalists—Texas A&M University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Marymount University, and the University of Findlay. We highlight how these institutions exemplify CPED’s commitment to inquiry as practice, equity and social justice, and the cultivation of scholarly‑practitioner identity. Together, their models showcase distinctive approaches to community‑building in online education, team‑based capstone partnerships, high‑touch mentoring ecosystems, and developmental assessment redesigns. By sharing these exemplars, we aim to illuminate emerging trends in EdD program design and to invite readers to consider how doctoral preparation can be reimagined to meet the complex challenges facing contemporary educational and organizational contexts.
