Doctor of Philosophy in Curriculum and Instruction - Curriculum and Global Studies

The Curriculum and Global Studies area encompasses multiple research programs in order to consider the politics of knowledge and the paradoxes of inclusions that exclude in curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher education. While encompassing diverse lines of inquiry, scholarship in this area engages in postfoundational approaches, giving critical attention to coloniality, differences, racialization, and beyond Western cosmologies. The research occurs at the interstices of historicizing methods related to political sociology and comparative philosophy, among others.

A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international institution is required. International applicants must have a degree comparable to a regionally accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree. You must have completed your undergraduate degree, or similar, before starting graduate school. A minimum undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 on the equivalent of the last 60 credit hours (approximately two years of work) or a master’s degree with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 is required. The Graduate School will take into consideration different grade scales from institutions that do not have 4.00 scales (e.g., institutions outside the United States of America).
