The University of Wisconsin - Madison is accepting
applications to our Learning Sciences PhD program. The program
is hosted in the Educational Psychology department, has been repeatedly ranked
the Nation’s #1 Educational Psychology program U.S. News and
World Report, most recently in the 2018 ranking.
Our program allows students to work closely with Learning
Sciences faculty in an apprenticeship-based
model. We put a particular emphasis on building and studying learning
environments of all kinds, with particular emphasis on learning
enhanced by technology such as intelligent tutors, simulations,
e-textbooks, educational software, and games . Students study learning in
formal and informal environments and use qualitative and quantitative
methods to design and evaluate learning in a range of disciplines. As
doctoral candidates, students develop and establish research plans that address
critical, current research questions that overlap with fields such as cognitive
science, educational psychology, computer science, applied linguistics, and
anthropology, and sociology. Under the supervision of a faculty advisor,
students complete their required coursework,
defend a Major Area Paper, pass preliminary exams, submit a dissertation
proposal, and defend a dissertation thesis.
