Doctoral programs.

The goal of the GSE PhD in Education is to prepare the next generation of leading education researchers. The cornerstone of the doctoral experience at the Stanford Graduate School of Education is the research apprenticeship that all students undertake, typically under the guidance of their academic advisor, but often with other Stanford faculty as well.

In this apprenticeship model, doctoral students are provided with a multi-year funding package that consists of opportunities each quarter to serve as teaching and research assistants for faculty members' courses and research projects. By this means, and in combination with the courses that they take part of their program, students are prepared over an approximately five-year period to excel as university teachers and education researchers.

The doctoral degree in Education at the GSE includes doctoral program requirements as well as a specialization, as listed below, overseen by a faculty committee from one of the GSE's three academic areas.

Doctor of Philosophy in Education

Take the next step toward your career goals. Learn key information about the USC Rossier admission process and application requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in Education.

Our admission criteria and requirements ensure that PhD applicants are evaluated holistically, rigorously and equitably. USC Rossier adheres to the university’s non-discrimination policy and is committed to providing equal opportunity for all applicants. 

Using an evaluation rubric, faculty will assess:

• Research potential
• Academic preparation
• Contributions to our mission to achieve equity through research, policy, and practice
• Socio-emotional competencies
• Alignment of interests with the program’s focus and faculty expertise/projects

After a review of your application materials, faculty will contact semi-finalists for interviews. Admission decisions will be released in mid-February.

Prerequisites

We accept students who hold undergraduate degrees as well as those who have both undergraduate and master’s degrees. The program welcomes applicants from any academic background with a demonstrated interest in educational research.

Please note that the application instructions may be updated before the application opens on August 1, 2024.

Application Instructions 

The USC Rossier PhD application instructions may differ from those on the USC Graduate Admission website and from other USC Rossier programs. Please follow the instructions on this page when applying to the PhD in Education program.  

Tips Applicants to the PhD program do not need to complete the experiences, achievements, conferences attended and memberships sections of the standard USC Rossier application. Your resume or CV can serve as a replacement for that section. If you have technical issues with the application, refer to the “FAQ” and “contact us” links on the application login page. You can also try using a different browser. Many universities use the Liaison application system. If you are using the same email to apply to another university that also uses Liaison, you can log in with the same credentials. We recommend using the PhD Program Brochure to identify PhD faculty members whose scholarship best aligns with your interests.

Policy on Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

GRE scores are neither required nor accepted for admission. To learn more, review our revised GRE admissions policy .

Application Instructions

Where to find it on the application: My Application > Personal Information

• Enter your name as it appears on your government issued I.D. Indicate any alternate or previous names in the “other name” field (i.e. maiden name). Indicating prior names is important because it will help USC connect transcripts in former names to your application.
• Enter the email address USC Rossier should use to communicate with you throughout the application process.
• Indicate your citizenship status.*

*Please note that the USC application does not include a citizenship option for undocumented students. If you are an undocumented student, please select the citizenship option “international student.” If you wish to disclose your citizenship status, contact the admissions team at [email protected] prior to submitting your application so that we can withdraw you from receiving communications intended for international students.

Where to find it on the application: My Application > Academic History > Colleges Attended > Add a College > Upload a Transcript

Official transcripts from all institutions attended should be scanned and uploaded to our application portal. Below are the steps on how to do that. Please do not mail or send electronic transcripts to USC at this point. If admitted we will ask for official transcripts to be sent directly from prior institutions to USC and will share specific instructions on how to do so.

Step 1: Request official transcripts from all institutions you attended and have them sent directly to you

Request one official transcript from each college or university you attended, even if you did not earn a credit or degree from each institution, and have them sent to your personal mailing or email address, not to USC directly. Printouts from portals are not acceptable.Even if your final transcript includes a list of classes taken at other colleges and universities, you are still required to send the transcripts from each college and university.

If you participated in a study abroad opportunity operated by your institutions during your time receiving a degree from that institution and that coursework appears on the institution’s transcript, then you do not need to submit a separate transcript from the international institution you attended. However, if any of these do not apply (e.g., you participated in an external study abroad; a study abroad outside of your time attending an institution; or the courses do not appear on the transcript of your home institution), you must submit separate transcripts. If you have any questions, feel free to contact [email protected] for help.

USC degree holders and current USC students do not need to submit transcripts, assuming that transcripts from all other institutions attended (aside from USC) have already been sent to USC previously. If you attended any institutions since last being admitted to USC, any updated transcript information from other institutions must be sent (e.g., if you received a master’s degree from an institution after attending USC, you would need to send that transcript).

Step 2: Upload copies of official transcripts into the application

When you receive each transcript, log in to the USC application ‘Academic History’ section and add information about your academic history at each college or university. After saving this information, you will see an option to ‘upload a transcript’ for each college. Only one PDF per college or university can be uploaded. If the transcript from a college or university contains multiple pages and/or multiple degrees, you will need to scan each page and combine the pages into a single PDF. If you don’t have access to a scanner or a mobile scanner app, you can take a legible photo of each page and combine the images into one PDF

Where to find it on the application: My Application > Supporting Information > Documents > CV/Resume

Your CV or resume (either are acceptable) should highlight your experiences (paid, volunteer, and otherwise) and research background (e.g., publications, presentations, etc…) to help the faculty understand how your experiences and background shape your interest in the program and inform how you would perform in the PhD.

Once you upload your resume or CV, you do not need to duplicate efforts and add to the experiences, achievements, conferences attended and memberships sections of the standard USC Rossier application.

Where to find it on the application: My Application > Program Materials > Documents Please label the first page of your Personal Statement with a header that states Personal Statement.

Your Personal Statement (no longer than 2 single spaced pages) should address the following four areas:

• Your interest in the PhD program as it relates to your personal and professional goals.
• Your commitment and anticipated academic and professional contributions to USC Rossier’s mission to “achieve educational equity through practice, research and policy”.
• Your personal history of academic and professional development. Please comment on: What competencies have you developed that will contribute to your academic and professional success? What is your approach to managing long-term goals? How have you contributed to a supportive, collaborative intellectual community?
• Your research interests and how your goals align with the expertise of up to three of our PhD program tenured or tenure-track faculty with whom you would like to work.

Select the “Add Document” button under “Personal Statement”

Where to find it on the application: My Application > Program Materials > Documents

Please label the first page of your Writing Sample with a header that states Writing Sample.

Please submit a writing sample demonstrating your writing skills and thinking. Specifically, faculty reviewers are looking to assess writing competency and demonstration of one’s ability to construct an argument. Papers written in an academic style and that you completed for course work, professional purposes, or presentation/publication are all good options for the writing sample. Applicants can submit a writing sample of any length but they will be asked to direct faculty reviewers to the 5-10 pages faculty reviewers should read.

If you do not already have a writing sample, please write one on a topic of scholarly interest to you that is at least five pages and follows the above guidelines. Use outside sources and cite references where applicable in a recognized publication style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago)

On the application, we will ask you to answer the following questions about your writing sample:

Where to find it on the application: My Application > Program Materials > Recommendations > Add Recommendation

The USC Rossier PhD Program requires three letters of recommendation. Recommenders ideally should have a PhD (not required) and be able to speak to your potential and ability to do research. If you feel that submitting a fourth letter of recommendation will strengthen your application, you are welcome to do so. However, we only request three letters of recommendation. If you only have two recommenders, your application will still be given full consideration, but three recommenders are preferred.

• To submit the names of your recommenders (referred to as evaluators on the application), go to the “Program Materials” section of the application and click on the tab “Evaluation Types.”
• Click the button “Add Evaluation” to enter the name and email address of each evaluator you’d like to ask to electronically submit a letter of recommendation. Each evaluator will automatically receive an email from [email protected] that includes a password and directions for submitting the letter of recommendation. If the evaluator does not receive the recommendation letter request, advise them to check their spam or junk mail folders.
• The application will ask you to include a submit by date, and we recommend putting December 3 as that will also act as the cutoff date by which they can submit.
• It is your responsibility as the applicant to ensure all recommendation letters are submitted before the appropriate deadline.

Please note: recommendation letters are program-specific and cannot be used to apply to additional programs. If you withdraw your application from a particular program, your letters of recommendation will be deleted along with the application.

Where to find it on the application: Submit Application Tab

The application fee is $90. Eligibility for fee waivers and how to apply for a fee waiver can be found at the Graduate Admissions website . Fees must be paid via debit or credit card.

Applicants can apply for a fee waiver as soon as they have started their online application. At certain times, the turn-around can take up to two weeks, so applicants should plan for this based upon the December 1 deadline. Do not submit your application before getting your fee waiver approved because USC will not refund the application fee once an application has been submitted.

Applicants who believe they qualify for a fee waiver should complete the following steps:

• Start your online application before applying for a fee waiver and be sure to select the program to which they are planning to apply.
• To apply for a fee waiver at this link and then in the Select an Area box, choose “Graduate Admission” and then click “Graduate Admission” again and select Rossier School of Education. Then under “Category”, choose “Application Fees and Fee Waivers”. Then click “Application Fees and Fee Waivers” again and select the type of fee waiver for which you are applying. Please attach the appropriate documentation for the type of fee waiver. You must use the same email address as your application and must also include the name of the program to which you are applying (PhD in Education Program). Failure to do so could delay your request considerably.
• Applicants will receive an email notification if and when their fee waiver is approved. Applicants must wait to receive this confirmation in order to skip the payment page when they submit your application. No refunds will be issued post-submission.

TOEFL or IELTS Test Scores Where to find it on the application: My Application > Academic History > Standardized Tests > Add a Test Score

International students whose native language is not English and who completed their undergraduate work outside of the United States are required to submit an official TOEFL or IELTS score as part of their application. You must have taken one of these tests within two years of your program start date.

You may upload your test score report in the “Academic History” section of the application to be used in application review. However, only scores received electronically from the testing service are considered official. Official test scores should be sent from the testing agency directly to USC.

• TOEFL: To send official scores, use USC ETS code 4852
• IELTS: Select “University of Southern California” at the time of registration. Alternatively, provide this information to your testing center after taking the test.
• No department code is required to send TOEFL or IELTS scores

Transcripts in original language of issuance: International students who have earned their degree outside the United States must check our country-specific requirements to determine if we need original-language copies of their academic records. In such cases, a separate, word-for-word, English-language translation of all academic records must also be submitted. The translation should either be issued directly from the school itself or by a professional, certified translator. It must contain all information shown on the original-language documents and “mirror” them as precisely as possible. Dual-language transcripts are also acceptable.

Credential evaluation: Please note that USC does not accept or recognize credential evaluation reports from outside agencies (e.g. WES, ECE, etc.) for the purposes of admission review. More information is available on the USC Graduate Admission International Students Country requirements page .

Financial Documents, Letter of Sponsorship and Passport Copy Where to find it on the application: My Application > Supporting Information > Documents

For international students, financial documents/verification of funds, a letter of sponsorship and a copy of a passport may be uploaded into the application. However, these documents are not required until admission to the program. Moreover, because the PhD Program is “funded,” international students do not need to upload financial documents or verification of funds. Please note that this is different for other USC Rossier programs.

Contacting Faculty

During our application season, you have the option to contact faculty members whose scholarship best aligns with your interests. Your application will receive full consideration with or without contacting faculty. If you’d like to reach our program faculty by email, please follow these guidelines:

As a PhD student in the Harvard philosophy program, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your ideas, knowledge, and abilities. You'll work with other doctoral students, our faculty, and visiting scholars, all in a stimulating and supportive environment. The program has strengths across a broad range of topics and areas, so you'll be able to pursue your interests wherever they may lead, especially in moral and political philosophy, aesthetics, epistemology, philosophy of logic, philosophy of language, the history of analytic philosophy, ancient philosophy, Immanuel Kant, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. In addition, students can pursue joint degrees with classics, Harvard Law School, and in Indian philosophy.

Incoming cohorts consist of five to eight students per year. You will have substantial access to our renowned faculty and all the resources that Harvard makes available. This relatively small size also gives students a sense of intellectual community.

The curriculum is structured to help you make your way towards a dissertation: graduate-level coursework, a second-year research paper, a prospectus to help you identify a dissertation topic, and then the dissertation itself. Past dissertations in the department have addressed a broad range of topics: Aristotle, Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau; contemporary moral and political philosophy; metaphysics; epistemology; and logic.

In addition to your research, you will also have the opportunity to develop your teaching skills in many different settings across the University.

You can find graduates of the PhD program in many universities. Some of our students have gone on to faculty positions at Yale University, Princeton University, Brown University, and Stanford University. Other graduates have gone on to diverse careers in, among others, the arts, the law, secondary education, and technology.

In addition to the standard PhD in philosophy, the department offers a PhD in classical philosophy in collaboration with the Department of the Classics and a coordinated JD/PhD program in conjunction with Harvard Law School.

Additional information on the graduate program is available from the Department of Philosophy and requirements for the degree are detailed in Policies .

Questions about the program.

The PhD Program The Philosophy of Education degree provides advanced development of skills necessary for serving in leadership roles in educational and business careers. Courses prepare students for academic and research positions in higher education or other organizations. PhD graduates may serve as thought leaders, consultants, professors, or researchers. A PhD in Education is focused on conducting original research, data analysis, and theoretical development. This degree is research-oriented, designed for those looking to pursue scholarly work and publishing.

The following five foundational fluencies, which are core principles of the program, are taught and assessed throughout the program:

• analytic inquiry
• advanced quantitative and qualitative research
• communication
• servant leadership

The Doctor of Education program is a non-licensure program. If students wish to obtain any state certification, they will need to contact their state department of education for specific requirements and applications.

Program Summary Total Credits - 60 Credit hours with four components: Doctoral Core (15 hours) Research Core (9 hours) Advanced Research Core (6 hours)

Concentration (18 hours)

Dissertation (a minimum of 12 hours)

Program Length - 3-4 years

• Coursework - one eight-week course at a time
• Dissertation - Students need a minimum of 12 dissertation credits, and continuous enrollment is required. Students may take a maximum of 18 dissertation credits.

Program Delivery

• Three 16-week semesters each calendar year (Fall, Spring, and Summer) are broken into 8 week terms for courses.
• Hybrid model with mostly online courses. Two courses require a three-day face-to-to face intensive.
• Two three-day intensive courses are required and will be completed on campus either in February or June corresponding to students’ cohort start date
• Comprehensive exam during the last semester of course work (Students may not advance to doctoral candidacy until they have passed the comprehensive exam and successfully completed all doctoral-level courses)   
• Dissertation proposal defense (on campus or from a remote location). PhD students will develop or test a theory or study a research problem in their profession. PhD students examine questions that contribute to the discipline of education A PhD dissertation is steeped in theory and has a broad cultural or social significance.
• Dissertation defense (on campus or from a remote location)

Entrance Requirements

All the components listed below are required and will be utilized by the College of Education Ed.D. Committee to make an admittance decision. Other requirements are detailed on the application. Applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis, and the decision of the committee is final.

• Regionally accredited graduate degree with at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale
• Current professional vita
• Christian faith statement (two- to three-page essay)
• Minimum of three full-time years of successful experience in a related field
• Scholarly writing sample: minimum of five pages (Examples: articles, graduate research papers/assignments, published work, etc.)
• One professional recommendation
• One personal recommendation
• Background check consent form
• For non-native English speakers a current TOEFL score at the mean level or higher

Failure to meet one of the standards may not immediately disqualify a candidate depending upon the strength of the other components. For example, an applicant with a 3.5 GPA but only two years of experience may still be considered by the Ed.D. admissions committee.   

International Students 

International students applying for admission to any Southeastern University graduate program must meet all normal requirements for admission to those programs.

Additional requirements are as follows:

• Course-by-course transcript evaluation completed through a third-party such as  www.jsilny.com  or  www.wes.org . This is required in order to confirm the completion of your undergraduate degree outside the United States.
• If you live in a country where English is not the primary language, we would then require either the TOEFL exam with an IBT: 76 or higher, or the IELTS with a band score of 6.0 or higher.

* If the program is an online or hybrid program, you do not need the passport, visa, or support letter documents because our international students do not come to the US for online or hybrid courses. However, please include your transcript evaluation if your previous degree is from a non-American university.

Contact the program chair for information about how the face-to-face intensives can be handled differently for international students.

Other Policies

Non-Degree Seeking Students

Students may take up to 9 hours as a non-degree seeking student. A student accepted with a non-degree classification must comply with pre-requisite requirements.

This classification may appeal to students who already hold a graduate degree and need further graduate hours to qualify for teaching a specific discipline at the university level. Specific concentration courses may be especially helpful for this goal. 

Taking courses as a non-degree seeking student may also appeal to individuals who are not yet sure if a doctoral degree is their goal but desire to explore the possibility. Contact the graduate admissions office for details on admissions criteria and pre-requisite requirements for the courses desired.

Transfer Credits

For complete information regarding transfer credits, see “General Conditions for All Credit Transfer” in the Academic Chapter of the Graduate Catalog. In the PhD program, a maximum of 14 credits (or 25% of the total credits) of graduate coursework from accredited universities may be transferrable to a student’s doctoral program according to the following requirements:

• The courses are doctoral level courses at 6000 level or above;
• The courses are earned at an accredited university;
• The courses are less than seven years old;
• The courses are relevant to the coursework at SEU; and
• The advisor approves the transfer based on information provided by the student in the course substitution form.

The College of Education Doctoral Committee will evaluate the transcript and award transfer credit based on a case-by-case basis. The College of Education Doctoral Committee has determined that once a student begins PhD coursework at SEU, no transient credit (future courses taken at another university) will be allowed. The student must request an evaluation of transfer credit as soon as possible so the determination of transfer credit can be completed before the end of the student’s first semester of enrollment in the program.

Advanced Standing

Upon evaluation of special circumstances, a student who has been accepted without provisional status and who has an earned EdS or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution may be accepted into the PhD program with an advanced standing (AS) classification. AS students may be eligible for exemption for up to 30 credits. AS students must complete a minimum of 30 hours at SEU (including dissertation) in order to earn the PhD. The transfer credits must comply with the requirements for transfer credits (See Transfer Credit section in the Graduate Catalog)

Continuous Enrollment

Once a student enters the dissertation phase (marked by the first enrollment in EDUC 9012), the student must stay continuously enrolled each semester (Spring, Summer, and Fall) until the dissertation has been successfully defended.

The minimum GPA requirement is 3.0. Grades of less than C- will not be counted toward degree completion.
