Reading Education & Language Arts

TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF READING SPECIALISTS

The Curriculum & Instruction: Reading Education/Language Arts program focuses on current issues in teaching and learning in literacy education through research. Our faculty engage in nationally recognized research that has the potential to improve the educational outcomes of our nation’s children. In addition, they make their research accessible and understandable to both practitioners and policymakers.

Our graduates go on to become reading specialists, teachers, curriculum designers, and more. As you complete the program, you will enjoy mentorship from faculty members and an expansive curriculum. Small class sizes encourage active participation and one-on-one attention from professors.

This research-intensive doctoral program welcomes students who desire high-quality training in literacy education. The program places an emphasis on theory, rigorous research methods, and applied research.
