This guide supplements regulations of the Graduate School contained in the current bulletin of The University of Georgia Graduate School. The Graduate School and the department communicate policies through, for example, the Graduate Bulletin, direct mail, bulletin board postings, the Internet, radio, television announcements, and faculty advising memoranda.
Every effort is made to help students stay informed of requirements and deadlines.
However, students are responsible for learning the requirements, meeting deadlines, and seeking advice on the program. The Department of Social Foundations of Education offers only a Ph.D. program. The Ph.D. program is primarily for individuals who seek careers in higher education where their coursework will have, among other purposes, a continuing emphasis on the development of theory and research on teaching, learning, schooling, and education. The program will prepare scholars to produce knowledge about the social, cultural, historical, and ethical contexts in which students, teachers, and other educators study, teach, and provide educational services. All individuals wishing to pursue graduate study at The University of Georgia must submit to the Graduate School an application for admission provided on request by the Graduate School.
