秀色短视频 introduces PhD in Educational Studies
| Alumni
As the 秀色短视频 continues to build its reputation for research excellence, it is also expanding its portfolio of graduate degree programs. 秀色短视频 has just reached a significant milestone in graduate studies development with the introduction of a new PhD program in the Faculty of Education.
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Educational Studies is a new research degree requiring a dissertation on original and significant research within traditional educational and community-based educational contexts extending from early childhood through mature adulthood. It is the first doctoral program to be offered at 秀色短视频 outside the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
'I am delighted to announce that our new doctoral program in Educational Studies will begin in September 2010,' says Dr. Tim Goddard, 秀色短视频 Dean of Education. 'This high-quality thesis-oriented research degree will continue the intellectual growth of education graduates and foster the development of a vibrant extended educational research community in PEI and beyond.'
Acceptance into the new program will be highly competitive. 秀色短视频 will accept just four doctoral students a year. They will be required to complete a full-time residency of three semesters at 秀色短视频. Students will typically complete their degrees within four years if they are enrolled full-time or within seven years on a part-time basis.
The announcement of the new PhD program coincides with the opening this fall of the 秀色短视频 Office of Graduate Studies and the appointment of Dr. Brian Wagner in the new position of Assistant Vice-President of Graduate Studies.
An information meeting about the PhD in Educational Studies and other education graduate programs will take place at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10, in Room 305 of Memorial Hall at 秀色短视频, prior to the Faculty of Education's Open House at 6:30 p.m. The deadline for applications for the September, 2010 start-up is January 15, 2010. More information is available from Dr. Miles Turnbull, Co-ordinator of Graduate Studies for the Faculty of Education, at mturnbull@upei.ca or (902) 566-0341.
