Recent years have seen rapid growth in professional doctorates in higher education, yet there has been little published on this important area of higher education practice. This book considers the varying nature of the professional doctorate, as well as its history, development, and future. Drawing upon detailed and comparative case profiles of three professional doctorates, the book explores experiences and issues emerging from their pedagogy.
