Doctor of Philososphy [Ph.D] [Curriculum, Instruction and the Science of Learning] From University at Buffalo

While educational programs in curriculum and instruction are common, our program stands out by emphasizing the science of learning, a 21st century approach to developing evidenced-based practice through design research. In design research, we implement innovative practice/curriculum, study the effects and improve the implementation for further study.

Our doctoral program in curriculum, instruction and the science of learning is a multidisciplinary program that focuses on addressing practical educational problems through research in diverse contexts for learning and teaching. You can create your own customized program to meet your research and career interests in one of these five concentrations ? elementary education, English education, mathematics education, reading education and science education ?or in the general track that allows for an innovative interdisciplinary focus.
