Qualification Requirements

Doctoral study in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction is research-oriented. Because the Ph.D. degree is the highest degree conferred by the University of Connecticut, it is granted to a graduate student only when evidence indicates a pattern of pursuing powerful ideas, developing distinctive expertise, cultivating professional commitments, and engaging an able imagination. The degree is never awarded solely for a required period of study or the completion of a prescribed program of course work.
