Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Curriculum and Instruction - Literacy and Language Education

The Literacy and Language doctoral program is a research-oriented program culminating with a dissertation. The program focuses on the development of a core knowledge base, with additional coursework to supplement and extend that knowledge base. Working with the advisor and advisory committee, doctoral students have the ability to create this core knowledge base by tailoring their program of study to individual interests and needs. This flexibility and individualization is an important component of the Ph.D. program.

Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent, from the most recently conferred undergraduate, graduate, or professional degree.

A master’s degree is required for admission to this program.
