Course summary

The Ph.D. in Education with a major in early childhood education is designed to prepare leaders for the field. The goals of the program are to develop and support leadership, research, and policy that will inform, support, and promote education for young children. Major areas of focus include early childhood development and educational theories, research, and policies, curricular and program approaches, literacy, cultural diversity, and transition to preschool and primary school classrooms. The program provides preparation in quantitative and qualitative research methods. Students also select a cognate in complementary areas including special education, reading, educational leadership and administration, curriculum, professional development or other academic areas. Graduates of the program are prepared to assume leadership, teaching, or research and policy positions in early childhood care and education settings, school systems, colleges and universities, early childhood organizations and government. The program requires a minimum of 80 credit hours beyond the master’s degree: 12 credits in the foundation core, 32 credits in the department core, 20 credits in the cognate, and a minimum of 16 credits for the dissertation. Previously earned graduate credits may apply if they did not count towards the qualifying master’s degree, and if they are equivalent to a required course for the program or are part of an approved cognate.
