Children, Families, & Schools PhD Admissions
Admissions
Applications to the Children, Families, and Schools doctoral program can be submitted through the Graduate School.
Application Timeline
The application deadline for fall admission is December 1. Applicants typically receive admissions decisions in early March.
Prerequisites
Applicants need at least a master's degree in a related area (education, psychology, communication disorders, etc.) and previous experience in a school setting. A focused area of interest is also a good indication of readiness for doctoral study, but we fully expect students to continue to develop their ideas and research identities as they progress through the program. We encourage applicants to get in contact with faculty before they apply to discuss their potential research interests.
