Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction – Specialization in Science Education

Build upon your passion for science while developing the knowledge and skills to effectively engage others in the learning and doing of science across a variety of contexts.

Through our program you’ll engage in critical study of learning and teaching across all science disciplines. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in research projects and teaching experiences aimed at improving science learning for all ages and across a range of settings.

Graduates from our programs have found rewarding careers in science education within K-12 educational settings, higher education as well as informal/free-choice science contexts.

At the completion of your coursework and before you begin your dissertation, you will need to pass a qualifying exam, in the form of portfolio of work and an oral examination.
