PHD Applied Developmental Science and Special Education Policy Leadership and School Improvement Web Address: Culture, Curriculum and Teacher Education (CCTE) Learning Sciences and Psychological Studies Letters of Recommendation Transcripts Admitted applicants will be required to submit official transcripts from all institutions to The Graduate School. Statement of Purpose Applicants are not required to submit writing samples as part of their application. However, faculty strongly encourage applicants to include brief writing samples (no longer than 10 pages) demonstrating their ability to compose academic arguments. The PhD program does not have a formal requirement for years of teaching experience but many jobs in schools of education require 3-5 years’ experience and permanent teaching license, and thus we tend to admit those who we feel we can place in appropriate positions upon graduation. Teaching experience also makes it easier for students to find funding during their doctoral studies. Resume Applicants must also submit a resume which must include a list of experiences working with children and/or adolescents, such as jobs and volunteer efforts, along with the duration of each experience. Additional consideration will be given to applicants with counseling-related experience and/or experience working with diverse children and adolescents, and to applicants who have experience working in or with schools. Your experience working with children and/or adolescents MUST be obvious in either your resume or statement of purpose. Incomplete Applications All application materials are submitted electronically. Applicants are responsible for monitoring their application status and ensuring that their application, including letters of recommendation and official test scores, is complete by the application deadline. Failure to do so will result in your application not being reviewed for admission. Funding *Only in unusual circumstances and after consultation with the program are other admission terms considered. |
