Program Overview
The Ph.D. in Education is a research-focused degree that prepares candidates for roles as faculty and researchers in education. The program emphasizes addressing systemic barriers to quality education and using empirical research to improve equity in educational outcomes. Candidates engage in research, college-level teaching, and clinical experiences that focus on the challenges of educational access and equity in underserved communities.
Program Outline
Outline:
The Ph.D. in Education is a multi-disciplinary research-focused degree anchored in the educational complexities of access, success, and equity that is designed to prepare candidates globally to assume roles as faculty and researchers in one of four concentrations: Counselor Education, Literacy Education, Higher and Postsecondary Education, Special Education, and Urban and Diverse Learning Environments. The unique underpinning of this program is the intersection of two primary research foci: (1) a commitment to redressing systemic and persistent barriers to quality education and (2) a dedication to using rigorous empirical research with area schools, districts, colleges, and other educational partners to improve equity in educational outcomes.
Careers:
The Ph.D. offers its candidates opportunities to engage in research, college-level teaching, and clinical experiences that respond to the regions and the nation’s persistent challenges with educational access and equity in traditionally underserved communities.
