PhD
The Doctor of Philosophy degree in Curriculum and Instruction is a research degree that prepares students to become scholars who can discover, integrate, and apply knowledge, as well as communicate and disseminate it. The intent of the program is to prepare students to make significant original contributions to knowledge in specialized fields.
Specialty concentrations include: elementary education, English education, mathematics education, science education, social studies education, reading education, or special education. These areas provide a general structure of coursework selections and research emphases; however, students are encouraged to work with faculty to design programs uniquely fitted to their areas of interest.
