This chapter continues to discuss developments in the history of doctoral program, including the initial Ph.D. degree in education and the move towards the new Educational Doctorate degree (Ed.D.). The chapter moves to more recent history of Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs in America and the consistent movement towards specialization. A renewed focus on standardization is illustrated by discussing some of the developments in the specialized field of mathematics education over the last 20 years. The chapter finishes by listing the basic components that are typical of most doctoral programs in education in America. These common features are the focus of the next several chapters.
