Doctoral students construct individual programs of study with their advisor to suit their interests, combining core courses with additional coursework in research methodology and electives. Students are encouraged to develop one or more areas of concentration. Options include teacher education and professional development, leadership and policy; postsecondary learning environments; adult literacy education; reading, writing, and literacy across elementary, middle, and secondary curricula; children’s and adolescent literature; literacy policy, families, schools, and communities; and urban education.
The Ed.D. program in RWL features a strong commitment to educational practice and preparing practitioner-scholars. Ed.D. applicants are required to hold a master’s degree and are expected to have experience in educational practice. Ed.D. Students can register as full-time or part-time students. All Ed.D. students take part in courses and seminars specifically designed for Ed.D. students across GSE and select an Ed.D. cognate of study.
