Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Curriculum and Instruction
The emphasis of the Doctor of Philosophy degree Program in Curriculum and Instruction will be upon the generation of new knowledge or the reformulation of existing knowledge as a basis for the development of educational theory. The test of knowledge for a person working toward this degree is not conditioned upon ability to improve educational practice but rather upon possible contribution to the development of educational theory. Persons working toward this degree goal may assist in the improvement of practice, but their interests in the results are conditioned primarily by the extent to which they assist in reformulation of their own theoretical base. Highly developed research skills are an essential facet of this degree program.
