In the article the experience of implementing Doctor degree (Ed.D.) in education in the USA is presented. On the basis of dissertation research by American scientists  the common and different between scientific degrees of Ph.D. (Ph.D. in Education) and Ed.D. (Doctor of education) in the US has been analyzed. It is concluded that implementation levels of Ph.D. and Ed.D. in education in Ukraine requires diligence in determining their content and target audience of consumers, and therefore at this stage of higher education reforming  is feasible only implementation of Ph.D. in education without limiting access to scientific research of practical teachers in education.

Analytical review of research, learning theory and practice on the issue of the existence of two degrees Ph.D. and Ed.D., has allowed researchers to develop reasonable guidelines for promoting doctorates in education in the United States and resolving existing contradictions. It should be emphasized that these studies help universities understand the importance of the reform of academic degrees, as well as provide practical actionable steps to its efficient and effective implementation.

It is concluded that implementation of Ph.D. and Ed.D. levels in education in Ukraine requires diligence in determining their content and target audience of consumers, and therefore at this stage of reforming of higher education is feasible only implementation of Ph.D. education without limiting access to scientific research in practical education.
