The Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the College of Education at Texas State offers a Ed.D. in Developmental Education (DE) that produces highly-qualified program leaders and practitioners in DE programs. The Ed.D. is designed to fill the urgent need for advanced research in an emerging field that serves those who are underprepared for postsecondary education.
Mission Statement
The Doctoral program in Developmental Education within the Department of Curriculum and Instruction prepares future scholars, researchers, leaders, administrators, instructors, and practitioners in the field of developmental education. Both rigorous and supportive, the program aims to advance theory, research, and practice in multiple areas of developmental education — including developmental literacy, learning support, and developmental mathematics — by actively engaging students in teaching, scholarship, and professional service. As a multidisciplinary program, the faculty, staff, and students work collaboratively across various academic disciplines, diverse communities, and geographic boundaries.
Educational Goal
Major educational objectives for the programs include the following:
To prepare DE professionals who engage in divergent and critical thinking, are culturally competent, and are skilled in maximizing technology applications for learning and communication;
To prepare DE professionals who understand and can respond to the nature and needs of students who enroll in DE programs; the complexities of motivation, teaching, learning, and assessment in DE settings; the cultural, political, and social systems that create inequities in educational settings; and the structure and management of DE programs;
To prepare DE professionals with sophisticated research skills that will enable them to critically evaluate DE programs and practices and implement research agendas that will inform practice and policy;
To prepare DE professionals who will serve as leaders in the DE profession who can engage in institutional leadership, program administration, and innovative program development and evaluation that will promote systemic change and improvement.
