PhD in Curriculum and Instruction

This doctoral program gives students a thorough grounding in the knowledge areas that educational leaders need, including content foundations, program design and evaluation and research capacity. Students may specialize in a general track or in early childhood, English, history and social studies, mathematics, physical education and coaching, or science education. According to the page, new enrollment is paused indefinitely. Coursework begins with a two-term pro-seminar shared across all doctoral students, and the dissertation may take a traditional form or an alternative format built on publishable articles. The program page sets out course requirements and learning outcomes in detail, and applicants are pointed to the school's own site for contact and admissions questions. Study can be organized around advisor guidance, and candidates are encouraged to review prerequisites and policies before applying.
