Abstract: This paper explores the use of Integrative Doctoral ePortfolios as an alternative dissertation format within the Portland State University Educational Leadership doctoral program (EdD). The EdD program focuses on preparing working professionals for leadership roles in education. The traditional five chapter dissertation format, while rigorous, can feel disconnected from the professional lives of these students. This article describes the successful implementation of a multi-paper ePortfolio dissertation option for three recent graduates and discusses the implications for EdD programs.
