The Professional Doctorate in Education (Doctorat professionnel en education) at Universite de Sherbrooke is a 90-credit, part-time doctoral program leading to the Docteure/Docteur en education degree, delivered in a hybrid format combining in-person and remote coursework at the Sherbrooke and, enrollment permitting, Longueuil campuses. It trains senior education professionals to diagnose complex situational problems, plan and evaluate interventions using research-based conceptual and methodological tools, and contribute original professional knowledge to the field of education. Graduates develop ethical judgment, intellectual independence, and skills for communicating and disseminating professional knowledge, along with a commitment to ongoing professional development. The program targets experienced education professionals seeking to conduct applied inquiry into their own practice rather than pursue a traditional research-only doctorate. It admits at the Fall, Winter and Summer terms under a regular, part-time study regime.
