Graduate Program Overview
Telephone: (302) 831-8695
http://www.education.udel.edu
The School of Education offers graduate programs at the doctoral, specialist, and master’s levels. Our graduate programs prepare students for careers devoted to the solution of important educational problems - either through basic or applied research. Students in the Ph.D. in Education, the Ph.D. in Educational Statistics and Research Methods, and the Ph.D. in Economic Education programs work closely with leading scholars in education and develop their own lines of investigation. The Ed.D. in Educational Leadership program improves the leadership and decision making capabilities of practitioners in educational organizations. Students in the master’s and specialist programs develop knowledge and skills in areas such as teaching, educational technology, and school psychology. The professional education programs have received the State of Delaware approved program status. In addition, they have been recognized for meeting the standards of the national specialty organization in their field. The University of Delaware is a CAEP-accredited institution.
Doctor of Philosophy in Education (PhD)
Telephone: (302) 831-8695
http://www.education.udel.edu
The PhD Program in the School of Education seeks to prepare scholars whose research will address critical problems in education, develop our understanding of teaching and learning in diverse contexts, and lead to improved outcomes for all learners. There is no more important goal, nationally and globally, than educating all children and youth so that they may develop to their fullest potential. However, much remains to be discovered about how best to achieve this goal, given variation in learners, contexts, and opportunities. Our mission, to prepare the educational researchers of tomorrow, is accomplished through the implementation of a rigorous doctoral program that emphasizes high quality educational research utilizing varied methodological approaches. The program is grounded in interdisciplinary perspectives, including those from anthropological, sociological, psychological, and cognitive science traditions.
The PhD program prepares students to assume leadership roles in both academic and non-academic settings. The program requires a shared first year core that provides the foundation needed to frame and begin investigating important research questions. Specializations within the program build on this foundation and offer students the opportunity to pursue individualized programs of study that capitalize on faculty expertise both within the School of Education and across the University. By engaging in ongoing research and producing evidence of their accomplishments through apprenticeship activities, graduates are well positioned to contribute to solving significant educational problems throughout their careers.
Requirements for Admission
Applications for admission must be received by December 15 to be considered for acceptance for the following fall semester. Full-time study is strongly recommended.
Students apply to one of the following specialization areas:
- Learning Sciences

- Sociocultural and Community-Based Approaches to Education
These specialization areas vary in the backgrounds expected of applicants. Applicants should consult http://www.education.udel.edu/doctoral/phd/ for details about the specializations. Required materials for application include:
