A survey was conducted for the Graduate Student Section of the Adult Education Association to determine the differences in requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degrees in adult education. Of forty-three institutions identified as offering both degrees, forty participated in answering the questionnaire (Appendix B), and their responses were transferred to program synopsis forms (Appendix A). Generally, no differences were found between Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs as a group in policies governing transfer credits and specialization and in requirements for admissions, minimum units, general course work, research, comprehensive examinations, foreign languages, internship experiences, and residence. Only two areas showed slight differences: leveling requirements for students whose previous course work had been in another field and minor/cognate requirements. At institutions offering both degrees the distinguishing factor was the number of research courses needed. Considerable variance in requirements for either degree was found to exist, however, from institition to institution. (The report includes for each adult education program a course listing, a listing of specializations, and a synopsis.) (ELG)
