The Trident Ed.D. Program requires the completion of a Doctoral Study. As you plan for that project, it is helpful to locate and read existing dissertations in ProQuest, completed by doctoral students. Reviewing samples of student work can help you generate new ideas about how to design your own doctoral study. Follow the directions below to find a sample dissertation or doctoral study completed in the field of educational leadership, or a topic more closely related to your proposed study.

1. Access the Trident Online Library widget and click on Additional Library Resources (located just below the search bar).
2. Locate and click on the Dissertations and Theses Full Text (ProQuest).
3. Use the search function in ProQuest to find a relevant dissertation or doctoral study and discuss why this sample of student research is of interest to you, or how it may help you in the development of your own research.
