The Curriculum and Instruction Ph.D. program is directed by a minimum of five members of the university graduate faculty, including a major professor with substantial expertise in the area of emphasis, two other faculty members with strengths in the area of emphasis, one faculty member outside the student’s specialization, and one faculty member appointed by the dean of the Graduate School who serves as the chair of the examination committee for the oral defense of the dissertation.

Each student’s program of study is individualized with the approval of the major professor and the supervisory committee to optimize the student’s interests, expertise, and professional goals.

Information on the Ph.D. programs may be obtained from the College of Education Office of Graduate Studies in 018 Bluemont Hall or from the relevant department chair.
