The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Educational Studies is a 7 unit or 42 credit hour program comprising 2.5 units or 15 credit hours of course work (more if deemed necessary at time of admission), a 1.5 unit or 9 credit hour Comprehensive Research/Scholarly Portfolio (with attendant examination) and a 3 unit or 18 credit hour Dissertation. Faculty research strengths and areas within which students can focus their studies revolve around six interrelated themes that mirror recurrent pedagogical issues with which educational studies are concerned: curriculum studies, educational foundations and leadership, inclusive education, lifelong learning, literacies, and the psychological aspects of education. Students can concurrently anchor their studies in their 'teachable subjects', if so desired.
