PhD in Education, General

This Doctor of Education focused on curriculum and instruction trains practitioners to become thoughtful, principled educators and researchers. Coursework and other requirements are completed virtually. Admission to doctoral work is a significant commitment by the faculty, who provide advising, teaching and committee service, so the department evaluates applicants carefully. The program is housed in the education and professional development programs. Details on required courses, culminating experiences and admission procedures are listed in the graduate catalog. Prospective students should review those sections, contact the program coordinator with questions about fit and timing, and submit the application through the graduate admissions office before beginning coursework. Faculty advisors can help students fit the program around work and family schedules, and program staff can explain how the requirements apply to individual situations.
