At the doctoral level, emphasis is on broadening the scholars understanding of research
and use of evidence-based practices, issues and emerging trends in the field of special
education, practices in personnel development at the pre-service and graduate levels,
components of effective programs, and other topics relevant to the scholar’s terminal
goals. In addition to the required course work, doctoral students will have opportunities
to develop a manuscript for publication consideration, course instruction, and presenting
at professional conventions. Graduates typically assume positions in institutions
of higher education and leadership roles in public and private schools.
