Located in Newberg, George Fox University offers an online Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership through its School of Education, with concentrations in Administration and Instructional Design and Development. The program is for students looking to take on high-level positions in school or district administration, as well as those interested in teacher education and faculty roles in postsecondary institutions. A total of 56 credit hours are required to earn the degree, which takes around three years to complete. While the majority of the program is online, there is an annual one-week residency on the Newberg campus each summer. During these residencies, students meet with faculty and classmates to receive face-to-face instruction and participate in scholarly engagement activities.

Curriculum in the program is comprised of 38 Core Semester Credits, 12 Concentration Credits, and six Elective Credits. All students can expect to complete core courses in areas such as Leadership, Research in Effective Teaching, Political and Social Perspectives of Education, Faith and Learning, Educational Statistics, Qualitative and Quantitative Research, and Ethics, Equity, and Justice. Those who pursue the Instructional Design and Development concentration will also take courses in Leading Educational Organizations through Professional Development, Equity in Educational Environments, Leading People, and Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. Students in the Administration track fulfill their concentration requirements by completing one of two administrative licensure programs offered by George Fox University. There is Principal License (Tier I), for educators who want to move into P-12 school or district administrative positions, and Professional Administrative License (ProAL/Tier II), for those already in administration looking to pursue top district-level roles.

Students interested in pursuing their EdD online in a specialization not available at this school, such as Early Childhood Education or Educational Policy, may want to consider a program based out of state. Many colleges and universities around the country offer online Doctor of Education programs that accept students from Oregon. Some of these can be completed entirely online, while others include one or more on-campus residencies or other in-person components.
