DOCTORAL INFORMATION
Overview
The Ph.D. in Education prepares individuals for leadership in a variety of educational arenas, including school administration, curriculum and instruction, research and evaluation, special education and disabilities, as well as private and public organizations and agencies. Students are provided opportunities to build on one’s life experiences and interests through the advanced study of important ideas and practices and through the conduct and application of research through interactions with Ph.D. students and professors from departments across the university.
The Ph.D. in Rehabilitation and Movement Sciences is an interdisciplinary program of the departments of Health and Human Performance, Physical Therapy, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The purpose of the program is to prepare rehabilitation and movement science scholars through a rigorous academic program that focuses on the development of teaching and research expertise in the applied science disciplines. This collaborative degree program uniquely addresses the multi-faceted nature of our current health care delivery system and prepares applied scientists to approach health and rehabilitation initiatives from an integrative rather than competitive perspective.
