The doctoral program in the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development is a research-intensive program that leads to a Ph.D. in Education. We are in the process of adding specializations to the program and mathematics education is one such specialization. Graduates of the program will be prepared to make significant contributions to research, policy, and practice in their fields of interest. Graduates of our program are prepared for academic and research careers, and our program offers the following:

Apprenticeships with top scholars across fields of study in education and human development

Career mentoring in the professional work of publishing, teaching, presenting, and grant-writing

Courses of study emphasizing strong training in research methodology, with options to tailor courses and experiences to align with individual research interests

Opportunities for professional enhancement and experiences collaborating across disciplines and on community-, school-, and agency-based projects

Special features or areas of interest that would be of interest to potential doctoral students:

SMU's doctoral training in education is heavily quantitative, however there is considerable flexibility within the program to expand beyond the required methdological training. The small size of the program allows for considerable customization, mentoriship, and apprenticeship into research. Students are primarily funded through research assistantships and have opportunities to present at conferences and publish.
