The Mentored PhD Program in Education is designed to prepare educational leaders with knowledge and expertise in educational theory and practice, and more specialized knowledge in one of these areas: curriculum and instruction, educational administration, educational psychology, adult education, or human resource development. Each student will be assigned to an accredited advisor/mentor upon admission to the program, and will work closely with that person throughout his or her program. Admission is selective. Successful applicants will have excellent grades in previous academic work, which must include a Master's degree, demonstrated research ability, and interests for which a suitable doctoral advisor/mentor is available. Applicants are asked to submit a curriculum vitae which provides the details of at least two years of relevant professional experience, recommendations from one professional and one academic referee, and a letter of intent which outlines the applicant's research interests and professional goals and a career resume.
