PHD in Aviation Science Vs AvD Doctor in Aviation.
I’m trying to understand the difference between the two terms for Doctors degrees in Aviation.
My previous thoughts were a PhD in Aviation Sciences was of a higher standing than a AvD.
Somewhat like a MD (Medical Doctor), is to a DO (Doctor of Ostiopathy), but that may not be correct.
Some would say a PhDs (Psychology ) think about it, whilst an professional doctorate (AvD) actually does it.
On the higher education web site it states the professional doctorates EdDs are for professionals and the PhDs are for educators. Is this correct?
Has anybody been through such doctoral programs?
I’ve been looking at Embry-Riddle, F.I.T, St Louis and North Dakota.
Any feed back of these schools appreciated.
