CIDE: Ph.D. Program Overview
The doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree with a program emphasis in comparative
and international development education (CIDE), administered by the
Graduate School and offered by the Department
of Educational Policy and Administration (EdPA), provides an opportunity for intensive
study of comparative education, international development education,
international educational exchange, and global youth policy and leadership. CIDE uses an interdisciplinary approach for the study of education’s
role in economic, political, and sociocultural development; international educational
exchange; and the internationalization of education.
Who enrolls in this program?
Students enrolled in CIDE are the future leaders, university faculty members,
policy analysts and researchers in the field of comparative and international development
education. All students enrolled in the program will incorporate relevant knowledge
from the behavioral and social sciences and the humanities into their studies. The
program is selective and is limited to 10-15 students each year. All new students begin
the program in the fall semester.
What will my program look like?
The Ph.D. requires that students enrolled under the semester system take at least
59 credits of course work. With the adviser’s approval, students can transfer up
to 18 semester credits from their master's degree toward these 59 Ph.D. credits. In addition,
24 semester thesis credits will be required for the dissertation for a total if
83 credits. Typically a course
meeting once a week throughout the semester is three credits. Students can complete
the coursework on either a full-time or part-time basis.
Curriculum details
How long will my Ph.D. program take?
Attending full time, including summers, students often can complete the required
coursework in 2 to 2½ years, during which time they complete preliminary written and
oral examinations. Many are able to complete their dissertation in another 1 to
2 years. Upon completion of their dissertation, students then take a final oral examination.
Doctoral students must complete all their requirements and receive their degree
within five calendar years after passing their preliminary oral examination.
