What are the particular strengths of University of Louisvilles Ph.D. program?
Our Ph.D. program in Curriculum & Instruction features extensive individual mentoring of students into their new professional roles. Because of the wide range of experiences and career goals of students entering our Ph.D. program, the program is designed to be flexible to meet the needs of individuals. Coupled with this flexibility is a research core (courses and dissertation) that ensures that all students develop competencies in consuming and producing research. Examples of doctoral program experiences that are available as appropriate to the needs of the student include opportunities to co-teach some courses relevant to one’s future career direction. Co-taught courses allow the student to take advantage of the experience and guidance of the professor and develop capacity for future teaching at the college level. Students also can engage with all aspects of research projects, including submitting proposals and presenting at national professional conferences, preparing and editing jou
