How is a PhD different from an EdD or DBA?
Broadly, a PhD is assessed on contribution to knowledge and expects theoretical engagement. Applied doctorates are assessed on contribution to practice and are usually organized around a real problem in a real setting. Both are doctorates and the standards are comparable, but the thing being demonstrated differs.
This comes up on PhD Dissertation Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
