Curriculum & Instruction PhD

All PhD students take a wide range of courses in the areas of curriculum, instruction, foundations, diversity and research. Dissertation topics cover a broad assortment of theoretical and practical topics. Additionally, our students are encouraged to consider enrolling in courses in other academic units in the Morgridge College of Education and throughout the university in order to enhance or expand their educational experience.

Many of our PhD students take faculty positions in upper-level research institutions, while other graduates enjoy highly successful careers in the public school environment designing, implementing, and evaluating curriculum.

We are proud of all of our graduates and welcome the opportunity to help all C&I students achieve their personal and professional goals.
