Why Get an Education Specialist Degree at NGU?

An Education Specialist program will equip you with the coursework you need to take the next step in your career journey. The Education Specialist degree sits between the Master of Education (MEd) and the Doctor of Education (EdD) programs, and courses are taught at the doctoral level, which allows credits to be applied to EdD requirements later. 

  • Three Concentration Options: NGU offers three concentrations within the EdS program. Choose PK-12 Education Leadership, Higher Education Leadership, or Educational Ministry Leadership. 
  • Practical Coursework: Learn from experienced faculty who will challenge you through practical faith-integrated coursework.
