Program of Studies

The Ph.D. degree with a major in education is pursued under the direction of a committee appointed by the University Graduate School and the School of Education. As with other Graduate School doctoral programs, a minimum of 90 credit hours of course work is required. This includes a major (selected from the fields of study listed previously), a minor, a series of research courses, and a dissertation. Written and oral qualifying examinations are taken following course work; a final oral defense of the dissertation completes the program. Up to 30 credit hours of graduate course work may be transferred from other universities, with the approval of the advisory committee and the Graduate Studies Office.

Admission

Admission recommendations are made by program area and School of Education admission committees and are based on graduate and undergraduate grades (especially in academic courses), scores on the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and letters of recommendation. The TOEFL examination is required for all international applicants. Online applications may be accessed through the School of Education Office of Graduate Studies Web site at the above URL.

Students earning a Ph.D. degree in education must fulfill all requirements of the University Graduate School (as found in this bulletin) and of the School of Education (as found in the School of Education Graduate Bulletin).

Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology

The Ph.D. program in counseling psychology is accredited by the American Psychological Association. Graduates of this program are prepared to work as (a) psychologists and administrators in mental health centers, college counseling centers, and in business and industry; (b) college faculty members; (c) private practitioners; (d) psychologists and in other positions where counseling psychology competencies are needed. The doctoral program in counseling psychology includes courses in the following areas: (1) psychological measurement, statistics, and research design; (2) biological, cognitive, affective, social, and individual bases of behavior; (3) course work leading to competence in an area of specialization; and (4) intervention strategies and service delivery systems. The application deadline is December 1 for matriculation in the fall semester.

The intent of the sequence of courses in the major area is to help ground students in counseling psychology and prepare them as effective scientist-practitioners. Courses from related areas of study may be added if their relevance to the major can be demonstrated, and if approval is secured.

Ph.D. in Higher Education

The Ph.D. degree is a 90 credit hour program designed for doctoral students who are planning careers as college and university administrators, institutional researchers, policy analysts, and faculty members.

The Ph.D. program has relatively few required courses, allowing students more freedom to specialize in areas of interest. There is also a strong set of inquiry (methodology) courses required. A strong background in inquiry is essential for careers in institutional research, policy analysis, or as faculty.

Students can transfer up to 30 hours into the program from relevant graduate level course work, especially courses that were taken toward a master’s degree in higher education or a related field. Although a master’s degree is not required for entry into the Ph.D. program, it is highly preferred.

Prerequisite Course

Y502 Intermediate Statistics Applied to Education may be counted among electives if the course has not been taken prior to admittance to the Ph.D. program.

C788 Seminar in Research in Higher Education* (Inquiry Linkage) (3 cr.)
- C788 should be taken near the end of program of study. This is a course in which research relevant to the major field of specialization is studied.

Early Inquiry Experience

In the early inquiry course, a student carries out an actual research project, including the collection and analysis of data to answer a research question, and the writing of a research manuscript.

A course that the instructor designates as providing an early inquiry experience must meet the following criteria:

1. There must be a written product as a result of the early inquiry experience.

2. The product should be suitable for presentation and/or publication. This can include professional conferences or institutional presentations/publications.

3. The syllabus of a Special Topics course will clearly state the requirements that must be completed to fulfill the early inquiry experience.

In most cases, the student should (a) take a course with an assignment the instructor designates as fulfilling the early inquiry experience (including some Topical Seminars [C750] or the Capstone in Institutional Research [C678]) or (b) fulfill the requirement through Independent Study (C690).

Other Courses (9 cr.)

Three additional inquiry courses approved by the Advisory Committee are required. Core Inquiry Courses for the School of Education shall include all Y-prefixed courses offered in the School of Education EXCEPT Y500, Y502, Y590, Y660, Y690, Y795, and Y799. A list of approved inquiry courses may be found at http://education.indiana.edu/students/graduates/_docs/ApprovedInquiryCoreCourses.pdf.

Three of the four required inquiry courses above should be taken prior to the qualifying exam.

Minor Requirements (12 cr.)

Course work should focus on the research and scholarship of an academic discipline that provides a useful perspective on the study of higher education. This perspective often influences the topic or methodology used in the dissertation. The minor may be any University Graduate School approved minor outside of the HESA program.

Alternatively, any twelve credits that form a single interdisciplinary minor may be approved by the University Graduate School. For this alternative a faculty member from outside the higher education program (e.g., Sociology, Law, Educational Inquiry, Educational Policy, and Organizational Studies) must be a member of the student’s Advisory Committee. A Minor Justification form must be submitted and approved by the Graduate Studies Office.

Elective Requirements

Fifteen hours can be used to further study an appropriate field, complete a second minor (minimum of 12 credit hours), or gain other professionally relevant knowledge. Excess hours in other sections may reduce the amount of hours here.

Students are encouraged to enroll in six credit hours that provide a breadth of understanding of higher education as a field of study.

With Advisory Committee approval a student may use courses from other academic areas appropriate to research interests and professional objectives.

Y502 Intermediate Statistics Applied to Education (3 cr.) or its equivalent is required as a pre-requisite for the Ph.D. If the course has not been taken prior to admittance to the program, it may be taken post-admission and be counted among electives.

Dissertation Requirements (15 credits)

C795 Dissertation Proposal Preparation* (3 cr.)
- C795 should be taken near the end of program of study, after passing the qualifying exam.
C799 Doctoral Thesis in Higher Education (12 cr.)

Students are required to design, conduct, and orally defend an original piece of research. Refer to the Graduate Bulletin checklist of doctoral program milestones and other program resources for further details.

Additional Program Requirements:

1. At the end of the first year (or after 18 credit hours of course work for those not enrolled full time), doctoral students must participate in the First-Year Review process. Instructions for this review can be found on the HESA web site. The advisor will assess performance to date and future program plans. The focus of the review is assessing a student’s ability to: 1) clearly articulate thoughts and ideas in an organized manner (written and orally), 2) analyze and synthesize research in order to formulate an opinion or argument, and 3) successfully complete program requirements, including the dissertation.

2. Students should finalize a program of study no later than the end of their second year if they are full-time students, or after completing 36 credit hours of coursework (excluding courses transferred from other institutions).

3. Prior to beginning a doctoral dissertation and at or near the time of completion of all course work, all doctoral students in the School of Education must pass a qualifying examination in their major area of study. Following review by the faculty, the student must defend the written examination in a meeting with the Advisory Committee. In effect, this examination process is intended to determine if a student is qualified to begin work on a doctoral dissertation.

Students must have an appointed Advisory Committee, including:
- Two (2) faculty members from the student’s major, one being the student’s faculty advisor
- One (1) faculty member representing the student’s minor

Student’s program of study must be approved by the Graduate Studies Office.
Students must have Advisory Committee approval to proceed with the qualifying exam.
Students must be in good standing and have no more than 6 credit hours of incompletes (in their current semester) to take the qualifying exam. Any incompletes must be removed prior to nomination to candidacy.

4. The Ph.D. residency requirement can be satisfied by taking two consecutive semesters of nine credits at the Bloomington-Indianapolis core campus. Dissertation credit hours (C799) or credit hours in Advanced Research (G901) may not be used to fulfill residency requirements.

5. Refer to the Graduate Bulletin checklist of doctoral program milestones and other program resources for further details.

Ph.D. in History, Philosophy, and Policy in Education with Specialization in Education Policy Studies

Help shape the future of education. What policies support educational access and attainment among underserved students?How can we increase secondary school attendance and completion? How do local, federal and international institutions shape policies and practices in educational systems? How do teachers take up policy changes and reforms? How do we evaluate student and teacher performance? These are just a few of the challenges that education policymakers face in the 21st century. This 90-hour program will help you respond to these and other issues.

Creating and implementing effective education policies requires a close examination of the social and historical foundations of education in the United States and around the world. It also requires a deep understanding of sociology and economics, history and anthropology, and morality and culture.
