Applications for Cohort 6 of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Ed.D. in Professional Practice program is open!
Join us at our upcoming Virtual Open House on Tuesday, September 29 from 4:00-5:30 p.m.
Our program is nationally recognized and was ranked #21 in the U.S. out of 1,400 programs. Our success is due to our committed faculty, our engaging curriculum, and, of course, our wonderful students. Our growing number of alumni is what makes this program stronger–as people deepen their careers, networks, and expertise.
With a mix of in-person and online learning, we believe pilina is built when you can learn, collaborate, and dream alongside your cohort members in the same place. We also know that our students are working full-time in their fields and need the flexibility that online learning can offer.
We hope you or someone in your community will consider joining our growing community of educational leaders committed to transforming education in Hawaiʻi. Apply here today by November 1, 2026.
Please contact eddprog[at]hawaii.edu to ask any questions and/or a link to the zoom session. We look forward to hearing from you!
