PhD in Education, General

This doctoral program suits students hoping to add to knowledge to scholarship on how people teach and learn. It prepares them for roles in teaching, research and policymaking in public or private higher education. Students follow a deliberate course of study with a content area, research methods and immersion in a community of scholars. They work closely with faculty as research, teaching or graduate assistants. The first year includes a two-term pro-seminar built around social justice, and each term students take on research and teaching apprenticeships. Graduates should show deep subject knowledge and capacity for original qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods research. 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.
