You engage in research that allows you to address challenges in K-12 education and participate in cross-disciplinary inquiry that deals with real problems in teaching and learning in forward-looking ways. At the same time, you dig deep into your content area. This ensures you have the knowledge to pursue meaningful and impactful scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All doctoral degrees in the College of Education require a minimum of 72 graduate credit hours beyond the bachelor\u2019s degree. Most doctoral programs in the College of Education require a minimum of 60 graduate credit hours beyond an approved master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CHOOSE FROM ONE OF SIX CONCENTRATIONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/graduate\/programs\/doctoral\/educational-equity\/\">Educational Equity<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/programs\/educational-psychology-doctoral\/\">Educational Psychology<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/graduate\/programs\/doctoral\/elementary-education\/\">Elementary Education in Mathematics and Science<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/programs\/learning-design-and-technology-doctoral\/\">Learning, Design, and Technology<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/programs\/doctoral-literacy-english-language-arts-education\/\">Literacy &amp; English Language Arts Education<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ced.ncsu.edu\/programs\/social-studies-doctoral\/\">Social Studies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applications are due December 1.
