These moments allow us the opportunity to pause, understand, learn and engage, in a manner consistent with our Lasallian values. Therefore, in reflecting on De La Salle’s 300 plus year legacy of revolutionizing education, persevering through tribulations, and all while holding the student at the center of his mission. I too can see and feel those same tenets here in the College of Business, reflecting our Lasallian namesake through the following themes: Innovative; Resilience; and Compassion. Our Innovative successes over the past year have included launching an incubator to major curriculum revisions to our MS in Project Management Program. During the fall semester, as a result of joint partnership with the Des Plaines River Valley Enterprise Zone and Lewis University, the College of Business launched the Innovation Hub as a real world incubator and resource for faculty, students and the community alike.

  • Doctoral Pathway Frequently Asked Questions
    Doctoral Pathway Frequently Asked Questions What are the different types of doctoral programs in education? Broadly speaking, there are two types of educational doctoral degrees: a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) and Ed.D. (Doctor of Education). A Ph.D. tends to be more theoretical, while a Ed.D. tends to be more applied. We sometimes refer to a Ph.D. as being an academic doctoral degree, while an Ed.D. degree is called a professional doctoral degree. Ph.D programs almost always have a thesis component as a culminating assignment. Ed.D. degrees usually have either a thesis or a major project as a culminating assignment. People tend to be more familiar with Ph.Ds than Ed.D. degrees, although there are some high profile Ed.D degrees around the world (e.g., Harvard has one). You’ll find that there are lots of university and college professors who have Ed.Ds rather than Ph.Ds. You’ll also find people with Ed.Ds and Ph.Ds working at the Ministry as well as in senior leadership positions at the Board level. Both are prestigious doctoral-level degrees. Why would I want a Ph.D or an Ed.D? If you want to be a university professor, you will need a Ph.D. or Ed.D. Many Ontario Colleges are also preferentially hiring instructors with a Ph.D. or Ed.D. An Ed.D. or Ph.D. might make you a stronger candidate if you want to work at the ministry, or at a school board, or as an educational consultant of some kind.
