THE STUDENTS
|
Christine Mulchaey, a program
graduate, is an art specialist at RIC’s Henry Barnard School, as well as
an adjunct professor in the art department.
|
Program
graduates and current doctoral students include educators and allied
professionals from Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Many of them work in schools from
pre-kindergarten through high school (as teachers, administrators,
psychologists, guidance counselors, or speech-language-hearing
specialists). Others work in
settings that focus on teacher preparation, educational policy, or
research.
|
·
Applicants must possess a Master’s degree in
education or an allied field (e.g., psychology) or at least 30 graduate credits from a regionally accredited
institution of higher education.
The graduate level work must include three credits in each of the
following areas a) educational foundations, b) curriculum, and c)
research. Each applicant must
submit a minimum of three letters of recommendation, Graduate Record Exam
scores no older than 5 years, and official transcripts of all previous
study. Applications are due
annually around the end of January for September admission.
· Students without such a master's
degree must pass a Qualifying Examination after
completing Year One in the Program.
|
The
majority of students hold full-time positions, which they usually
maintain during their years in the Ph.D. Program. After finishing the Program--or, in
some cases, while still in the Program--many students either move to new
settings or change roles within their current settings, enabling them to
draw upon the new skills and perspectives gained from the Program.

Graduate Mary Griffin has worked on
projects for the Rhode Island Department of Education and just published
her third book.
