The department considers education in its social, cultural, and institutional context. Drawing on anthropology, cultural studies, history, philosophy, social psychology, sociology, and curriculum studies, the department provides an interdisciplinary framework for addressing contemporary educational policy and practice in primary, secondary, and post-secondary settings. Our aims are to better understand the sources of current educational policies and practices that will promote social justice and lead to a more democratic society.

Director of Graduate Studies, Audrey Thompson, Ph.D., 307 Milton Bennion Hall, 587-7803.
M.A., M.S., M.Ed., M.Phil/Ph.D. For additional information, see the Graduate Information section of this catalog.
Students pursuing a masters or a doctorate can pursue topics within or combining the following areas of emphasis: educational anthropology and sociology, curriculum studies, educational history or philosophy, and diversity in higher education.
Students must complete a minimum of 36 credit hours of course work, including a
3-hour core, 15 hours of appropriate courses consistent with student goals, and 9 hours in thesis and research design.
Students must complete a minimum of 36 credit hours, including 3 hours in prescribed core courses, and at least 18 hours in a specialty area (see above).
Students must complete Ph.D. core courses and both preliminary and qualifying examinations. The remainder of the Ph.D. program is planned individually with the supervisory committee, including substantial work outside the College of Education, a focus on a subspecialty inside the department, and a dissertation.
The Master of Philosophy degree requires the same qualifications for admission and scholarly achievement as the Ph.D. degree but does not require a doctoral dissertation. There is no separate program for this degree. All regulations covering the Ph.D. degree with respect to supervisory committees, course requirements, and exams also apply to the M.Phil degree. Like the Ph.D., the M.Phil. is a terminal degree. A student is not considered for both degrees in the same department.
Candidates for all master’s degrees must meet the Graduate School requirements, hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution,
and have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0. Candidates for the Ph.D. must have an acceptable master’s degree, meet departmental minimums in graduate work and have acceptable GPA. Applicants must provide satisfactory letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and a writing sample to the graduate
admissions committee.
