Program Overview

The school of education difference.

Seattle Pacific was founded more than 125 years ago, and the University has been preparing some of the most sought-after educators in the region for more than 90 years. Today, entrance to School of Education graduate programs is highly competitive. Faculty members — each teaching his or her own courses and each holding a doctorate — have worked to develop rigorous programs of quality.

The School of Education at Seattle Pacific University offers more than a dozen graduate programs. You can choose from two doctoral programs, seven master’s degree programs, and five certification programs, all of which focus on developing competence, character, leadership, and service in educators. While many students train to become teachers, others prepare for roles as school counselors, principals, superintendents, district office personnel, or professors in higher education. SPU’s reputation in P–12 education in Washington and across the country is strong, and students who complete our graduate degree and certificate programs enjoy a higher rate of employment than the state's average.

Why Seattle Pacific for your Doctor of Education (EdD)?

The Doctor of Education (EdD) encourages you to develop an expertise appropriate to your professional and academic goals. Areas of specialization include executive leadership, digital education leadership, literacy, curriculum and instruction, and a self-designed program. Earning certification as a superintendent, principal, or program administrator can be accomplished while working on the doctoral degree.

Expert, caring faculty have a desire to help students succeed. Faculty are known for mentoring their students during and following their educational programs. These professors model lifelong learning through scholarly activities of their own, publishing frequently, and presenting at professional conferences.

Seattle Pacific is a member of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU) and of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. SPU certification programs are approved by the Washington state Professional Educator Standards Board. The School of Education is also a member of the Association of Independent Liberal Arts Colleges for Teacher Education, and has a chapter, Sigma Phi Upsilon, of Chi Sigma Iota, an international honor society that values academic and professional excellence in counseling.

Built on an character education foundation, the graduate programs at SPU offer first-class education through the lens of Christian faith and values. Students take ethics courses, and character issues are integrated throughout the curriculum.

Classes are smaller and students interact with professors and fellow students in a cooperative and reciprocal learning environment. Designed for full-time working educators, SPU doctoral programs offer classes online during the regular academic year (Autumn-Spring), with a two-week on-campus residency held each summer. 

School of Education graduates move on to purposeful careers in schools and district-level leadership throughout the country. When you obtain a graduate degree from SPU’s School of Education, you join a community of alumni who stay connected.

Andre Stout | EdD Graduate

Deciding to pursue Seattle Pacific’s EdD program was a personal growth decision for me. I wanted to be the best person I could be, and I believe education was the avenue to fulfill my God-given leadership potential. I was raised as a Christian with a grandfather who was a southern Black preacher, so I know he is proud of my choice to obtain my doctorate from a faith-based institution. My dissertation focused on public school administration, and my plan is to start a consulting business to help other public-school leaders reach the goals they have for their schools. I fondly remember (and thank) the doctoral faculty and staff of this program. The relationship with my professors will be something that I will cherish forever. They helped me with understanding how to be a faith-based, ethical principal, and how to make it through challenging courses and my dissertation process, guiding me with gentle nudges that kept me motivated to complete the journey.

Sarah Zhou | EdD Graduate

Director of National Staff Professional Development, China

I first learned about SPU when interpreting for an SPU professor at a workshop for Chinese public-school principals. That professor’s knowledge and humbleness left a great impression. Before coming to SPU, I was the academic principal of an experimental international school for Chinese students in China. After establishing the school and running it for four years, I had many questions about school administration and management, so in 2017 I decided to pause my career and pursue further education to become a better school administrator with Seattle Pacific’s EdD program. My passion is education in China. I help to equip Chinese teaching and supporting staff and support them to become professional international educators. My time in the EdD program further convinced me of the necessity and significance of building a robust teaching force. What I enjoyed most about the program were the discussions with professors and classmates in and outside the class, and the professors, who are knowledgeable and remarkably open-minded. I love that my intelligence and understanding has been constantly challenged and enriched by their insights. To me, SPU is like a family. The professors and fellow students were so kind. I felt welcomed into a family from the beginning of the program.

Ed.D. Programs in Washington

UW-Seattle or UW-Tacoma? Public or private? Our guide to Washington doctorates in education will get you sorted. On top of a complete listing of Ed.D. programs, you'll find a rundown of online degrees, funding opportunities, and administrative certification options. There's even a giant career section, with links to job & wage data, educational leadership job boards, and important organizations (e.g. WASA).

Earning a Doctor of Education Degree in Washington

Washington doctoral programs in education are a study in contrasts. For example, you’ll notice that none of the universities in our school listings hold CAEP accreditation. On the other hand:

• UW-Seattle’s College of Education has a top-flight national ranking and an international reputation. The university also has a fair amount of doctoral funding opportunities for Ed.D. students.
• UW-Tacoma, WSU, and SeattleU have opted to take part in the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) , which puts an emphasis on applied learning.
• CityU has made of point of developing 100% online Ed.D. programs .
• And four Washington universities have Ed.D. programs that incorporate administrative certification preparation.

You can read all about ’em in our school listings , which also contain links to costs & curricula. Once you’ve made your choice, have a quick look at our career section . This will point you toward PreK-20 job & salary data, useful career resources (e.g. School Personnel Summary Reports), and state-specific job boards. You may even wish to join an educational leadership organization —AWSP and WASA are particularly active within the state—or sign up for conferences & leadership training programs .

Online Doctor of Education Programs in Washington

Online ed.d. providers in washington, city university of seattle, what to know about washington online ed.d. programs.

Washington universities have been slow to convert to distance learning. As far as we can determine, only City University of Seattle has decided to offer online doctoral programs in education. CityU is not CAEP-accredited, but it is regionally accredited. It’s also part of the National University System , a private non-profit system that has a reputation for catering to working professionals.

CityU’s short, 90-credit Online Doctor of Education in Leadership comes in three concentrations: Organizational Leadership, Higher Educational Leadership, or an area of specialized study. It’s pretty flexible—you can customize the specialized option to fit your goals (e.g. Inspired Teacher Leadership) and credit transfers are available. What’s more, mandatory residencies can be 100% online or completed in Seattle or San Diego. Keep in mind that CityU is private, so per credit tuition rates may be higher than public options.

Note: Our overview of online doctoral programs in education has a full set of online Ed.D. listings from every state.

Doctoral Education Funding in Washington

Internal scholarships, fellowships & awards.

For this list, we’ve pulled out sources of institutional aid (e.g. internal scholarships, research awards, etc.). If you have questions about external aid (e.g. federal & private loans), the Office of Financial Aid and the Graduate School are your best bets. Finally, we always recommend you talk to the Ed.D. program coordinator. Some “doctoral” awards may be limited to Ph.D. students or full-time students. Ask the coordinator how Ed.D. candidates are typically funded.

Seattle Pacific University

The School of Education (SOE) has lots of useful advice in its section on Financing Your Graduate Education . Internal funding options for Ed.D. students include SOE Scholarships and Graduate Assistantships (doctoral students are eligible). The Financing section also contains links to external awards.

Seattle University

The College of Education has a section on Admissions & Financial Aid , with info on tuition & fees, financial aid, and Education Scholarships . There are general scholarships and endowed awards for Educational Leadership (EDLR) programs. However, the EDLR doctorate program is not eligible for SeattleU employee tuition remission.

University of Washington-Seattle

Start with the College of Education (COE)’s section on Funding & Financial Aid , which includes links to external funding sources and UW’s:

• College of Education Scholarships
• Research, Teaching & Staff Assistantships
• Community Partner Fellows Program
• Travel & Research Support

Then visit the COE’s sub-section on Tuition & Financial Aid , since this contains ideas for general UW graduate funding. Examples include the Graduate School’s List of Fellowships (e.g. Latinx Scholars Graduate School Fellowship for master’s and doctoral students) and the UW Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowship & Awards Database .

University of Washington-Tacoma

The Ed.D. in Educational Leadership program website has a section on Tuition Rates & Financial Aid . UW-Tacoma notes that state tuition waivers are not accepted and the program does not offer graduate assistantships or specific scholarships at this time. However, UW-Tacoma’s Graduate Funding Information Service (GFIS) can help Ed.D. students explore funding opportunities.

Washington State University

The College of Education has a section devoted to Scholarships & Financial Aid , with info about WSU’s general scholarship application and details on Teacher Education Scholarships , including the Educational Leadership Scholarship Award. Doctoral students are eligible for Graduate Assistantships , but students may not hold other employment in or outside the university.

Note: If a university name is missing from the list, we didn’t find specific examples of Ed.D. funding beyond private & federal loans and external aid.

School Administration Certification Requirements in Washington

Administrator certificates.

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) handles administrative certification for K-12 educators in Washington public schools. There are three types of administrator certificate in Washington:

• Superintendent
• Program Administrator

We cover the basic requirements for principal & superintendent certification below. Full certification procedures are outlined in the OSPI Administrator Certificate section.

Want to use your doctorate for certification? Washington’s Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) has a list of state-approved administrator preparation programs . When you compare that to our school listings , you’ll find that a number of Ed.D. programs fit the bill (e.g. SPU, SeattleU, UW-Seattle, and UW-Tacoma).

Note : OSPI has an entire section devoted to Out-of-State Applicants who wish to apply for a Washington administrator certificate.

Principal Certificate

To earn the Principal Certificate, you must:

• Hold a master’s degree.
• Complete a state-approved administrator preparation program .
• Hold or have previously held a regular teacher, educational staff associate, or Initial/Continuing CTE Certificate.
• Have three years of successful school-based instructional experience in an educational setting.

No testing is required for administrative certificates in Washington.

Initial Superintendent Certificate

To earn the Initial Superintendent Certificate, you must:

• Hold a valid regular teaching, ESA, principal, or program administrator certificate.

Educational Leadership Jobs in Washington

Educational leadership career outlook.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) compiles employment & salary data for elementary & secondary school education administrators and postsecondary education administrators in every state. One look at the job maps will tell you that Washington is doing pretty well.

Thanks to good K-12 schools and a healthy ecosystem of colleges & universities, Washington is often in the second employment bracket for both categories. The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan area has some of the highest employment levels for postsecondary administrators in the country.

Admittedly, these are general statistics. You can learn more about Washington’s PreK-20 landscape by visiting the Education Research & Data Center (ERDC) , which tracks student data & trends in K-12 schools and higher education. The Data Dashboards and Publications can be quite revealing.

Trying to decide on a K-12 school district? OSPI’s section on Data & Reporting has links to Report Cards, Data Portal, and much more. In addition, OSPI’s School Apportionment and Financial Services (SAFS) has a section on Personnel Summary Reports , which contains plenty of reports on headcounts and salaries.

Preparing for an interview with a Washington university? The Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) is tailored to students, but it’s a useful starting point. The Council of Presidents also publishes Research & Data on Washington’s network of public colleges & universities.

Educational Leadership Salaries

The BLS’s section on State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates for Washington contains actual job numbers and annual mean wages for four types of educational administrator.

It probably won’t be a surprise to hear that Washington is often one of the top paying states in the country for K-12 education administrators , right up there with juggernauts like California and New York. As we mentioned, OSPI-SAFS’s Personnel Summary Reports contain wage data on Washington K-12 public school personnel. Consult the individual tables under School District Personnel Summary Profiles to view average salaries for administrators.

In contrast, Washington postsecondary education administrators don’t do as well in the national wage stakes. They’re often in the same lower bracket as Oregon. The state government publishes State Employee Salaries each year. You’ll find the names and salaries of public university and community college administrators in this list. Sort by agency (e.g. Eastern Washington University) and position (e.g. Director).

Educational Leadership Job Boards

Tried & true job sites will get you started (e.g. Indeed, LinkedIn, HigherEdJobs, etc.). But we wanted to direct you toward some local job boards that feature postings for WA administrators & educational leaders.

• WASA’s Career Connection contains job openings for Washington superintendents, principals/assistant principals, central office positions, and other opportunities.

Ph.D. Program

The Allen School provides every student accepted to our Ph.D. program with full financial support in the form of teaching and research assistantships or fellowships, from program inception to degree. Students earn an integrated Master’s Degree on their path to the Ph.D. Key features of our program include:

• Comprehensive, high-quality graduate computer science curriculum.
• A vibrant academic and social community.
• Welcoming and inclusive environment for international students, women, and other underrepresented groups.
• Robust schedule of colloquia and lectures on current topics in research and technology.
• Leading-edge interdisciplinary research opportunities, on and off campus.

Our students benefit from many collaborations and relationships that we have developed across the campus and in the region. In addition to being the headquarters of established technology leaders such as Microsoft and Amazon, Seattle is also home to an extensive (and ever-growing) list of engineering centers established by major industry players from outside the Pacific Northwest.

Admission to the Allen School’s Ph.D. program is competitive. Each year, we receive applications from approximately 2,500 prospective graduate students from around the globe for 50 - 60 positions. We accept applications once a year, for entrance in the following autumn quarter. Our application process opens on September 1, and all application materials are due December 15, or the next following business day, if the 15th falls on a weekend. The Allen School hosts its annual Grad Visit Days in March for applicants who have received an offer of admission. This event provides an opportunity for applicants to meet with faculty, get to know their prospective colleagues, and experience the Seattle area’s quality of life.

The Ph.D. Process

The Allen School's Ph.D. process consists of three components: coursework, research, and thesis preparation. At the beginning of the program, students will take graduate-level courses in an array of topics spanning theory, systems, programming, and applications. They will also develop and refine their research skills working with their faculty advisor and other collaborators. These skills include information analysis and synthesis as well as written and verbal presentation capabilities. Student progress is measured at multiple steps throughout the program: the Qualifying Evaluation (a.k.a. “quals”), the General Exam, and the Candidacy of Philosophy, leading to the preparation and defense of their dissertation to obtain their Doctor of Philosophy degree.

Course Guide

Students are required to complete approximately 90 credits on their way to obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science & Engineering from the Allen School, 60 of which must be earned at the University of Washington.

Doctoral Program

Join a community of scholars..

Doctoral study in education at Washington University in St. Louis is aimed at strengthening and deepening the student's analytical understanding of education in both research and practice. Our doctoral program focuses on two major strands of study:

• Educational Policy Studies
• Educational Psychology

Educational Policy Studies – Students in this concentration wish to understand the policy and social contexts of schooling, and the theoretical assumptions that shape them.  Students in this concentration engage in the analysis of educational policy (e.g., school discipline, school choice, and school desegregation) and address systemic inequities, counter deficit notions of those marginalized, and develop deep understandings of sociology and history as they undertake qualitative, quantitative, and historical projects. Such projects examine the interconnected experiences and positionality of educational constituents, including teachers and students, at the individual, organizational, and structural levels. Recent dissertations have included foci such as English language learners' constraints and opportunities; shadow education and its structural relationship with school quality and demographics; school discipline policies, including restorative justice and exclusionary practices; factors impacting under representation of the marginalized in STEM fields; and effects of pediatric chronic disease on developmental and educational outcomes.

*Due to faculty availability, applications for Educational Policy Studies will not be accepted for Fall 2024.

Educational Psychology – Coursework in this concentration is designed to help students acquire a foundation in psychological research and theories pertaining to learning and motivation. Among other skills and knowledge, students are expected to develop: (1) an appreciation for the challenges and progress in this area of research; (2) an understanding of how theory and research in psychology can be applied to facilitate learning and motivation in educative contexts broadly construed; (3) the ability to analyze educational practice and policy from the perspective of psychological theories of learning and motivation. Coursework will be based on the needs of the student and determined by consultation between the student and the advisor.

Students working toward a PhD in education are expected to acquire an understanding of education as a complex social, cultural, and moral/political activity and as a field of study with rich literature bases and strong ties to disciplinary knowledge, classroom practice, and a variety of technologies.

Our faculty brings special interests and expertise to the examination of educational interactions in such sites as schools, families, and other cultural institutions. Students are expected to acquire theoretical and empirical expertise in an area of concentration even as they demonstrate their broader understanding of educational processes and problems. Finally, students are expected to acquire methodological competence in empirical inquiry and to pursue questions that are of interest and import for the student individually as well as a larger educational community. Graduates of the PhD program should be prepared to join the community of professional educators who contribute to our understanding of the complexity of education and to continue inquiring into educational processes and problems wherever they choose to work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why should i choose the department of education’s ph.d. program.

The Department of Education is an interdisciplinary community that bridges the theoretical and research foundations of education, traditional academic disciplines (e.g., sociology, psychology, history), and the professional practice of education. The programs of research pursued by our faculty span a variety of disciplinary perspectives, methodological approaches, and levels of analysis ranging from the individual to complex systems. The department offers a vibrant student-centered community in which faculty and staff are invested in the mentoring and success of students. Given our department’s small size and low faculty-to-student ratio, our Ph.D. students are able to create strong relationships with their advisors, fellow students, and our broader education community.

What are the most important components of the application?

When making admissions decisions, the Department of Education’s Doctoral Studies Committee takes a holistic approach to assessing each applicant’s potential to thrive in our program and community. Accordingly, the committee considers many factors, including grade-point average in previous programs, research experience, potential advisee-advisor matches, and letters of recommendation. The statement of purpose and the writing sample are important components of the application. Applicants should use the statement of purpose to communicate why they are applying to doctoral program. The essay should describe their research interests and experiences (if applicable) as well as their future goals and how the program will help to achieve them. Although previous research experience is not required for admission, it is highly recommended in order to be competitive with other applicants. Applicants should also carefully consider the writing sample that they plan to submit. The sample should be a paper independently written by the applicant that best reflects their thinking and writing ability. The paper may have been prepared earlier for another purpose, or it may be written specifically for the application. Ideally, the paper would showcase a research experience, such as a thesis, an independent project, or a term paper for a course.

Should I identify a faculty advisor before submitting my application?

The Doctoral Studies Committee wants each admitted student to have at least one faculty member who is willing and able to mentor the student. Thus, it is important for applicants to find a faculty member (or multiple faculty) with whom their research interests align and indicate the potential match in their application. Before submitting their application, applicants are strongly encouraged to reach out to potential faculty advisors to introduce themselves, discuss their goals and research interests, find out more about the faculty member’s current research and priorities, and determine whether or not the program is a good fit. Faculty are much more likely to take a closer look at an application if the applicant has contacted them in advance. Applicants should only consider faculty from the Department of Education. A list of potential faculty advisors is above. Each advisor has a profile page that describes their research interests and provides contact information.

Am I eligible to apply?

The Department of Education encourages and gives full consideration to all applicants for admission. Applicants must earn the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree prior to the application semester. Applicants are not required to have a master’s degree.

How do I apply to the Ph.D. in Education program?

Applicants should apply through the Office of Graduate Studies'  online application . Application requirements are listed above.

Does the department require GRE scores for admission?

No, GRE scores are not required for admission to the Ph.D. in Education program.

When are applications due?

In order to be considered for admission, applicants must submit a complete dossier no later than December 4th. All students are admitted for the fall semester.

How can I inquire about an application fee waiver?

You may inquire about an application fee waiver by emailing the Office of Graduate Studies at [email protected] .

How do I submit official English proficiency test scores (TOEFL or IELTS)?

TOEFL scores may be submitted electronically via ETS to school code 6929.

Official IELTS scores must be mailed from the testing center to: Washington University in St. Louis Graduate Admissions Graduate Admissions 1 Brookings Drive  St. Louis, MO 63130

Is there a waiver for the English proficiency test?

The English proficiency testing requirement may be waived for applicants who meet certain criteria. More information on waiver eligibility can be found on the Office of Graduate Studies’ Admissions FAQ page.

What financial support is offered to Ph.D. students in the Department of Education?

Our Ph.D. students receive full tuition remission, a health fee subsidy, and a monthly stipend to defray living expenses. The stipend is paid over 12 months (August-July), meaning summer funding is included. Washington University guarantees funding for Ph.D. students for up to six years as long as satisfactory progress is being made in their program. Competitive fellowships are also available through the Office of Graduate Studies. More information on fellowship opportunities can be found on the Office of Graduate Studies  Funding and Support page.

How do I submit my official transcript(s)?

Unofficial copies of transcripts must be uploaded at the time of application for each institution attended. Transcripts should include the applicant’s name, the institution’s name, and all grades received. Transcripts from foreign institutions should be translated by the issuing institution and uploaded with the original transcripts. Translations must bear an original ink signature and seal.

After accepting an offer of admission, official transcripts must be submitted from degree granting institution(s) for all undergraduate and graduate coursework. Transcripts must be in English and list the applicant’s name, the institution’s name, and all grades received. Official transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Graduate Studies from the issuing institution, or delivered by hand in a stamped and sealed institutional envelope. If the official transcript does not show degree conferral applicants must also send a certificate of graduation (with translation if needed). Transcripts may be mailed to:

Washington University in St. Louis Office of Graduate Studies in Arts and Sciences MSC 1187-0112-02 1 Brookings Drive St. Louis, MO 63130

Can I receive a master’s degree while working on my doctoral degree?

The Department of Education offers an optional “en-route” master’s degree for students enrolled in the department’s Ph.D. program. The program requirements consist of coursework and the completion of a master’s thesis. The coursework has substantial overlap with the requirements for the doctoral degree to avoid adding time to degree. Completing the A.M. in Education is optional for Ph.D. students but strongly recommended for those students with no master’s degree or a master’s degree in a field outside of education. Doctoral students in the Department of Education will be able to opt into the “en-route” master’s program at any point up until they complete or exit the doctoral program. However, students are encouraged to complete the requirements for the A.M. in Education before the end of their second year in the Ph.D. program.

Graduate Study in Psychology

• > graduate

Why choose the UW psychology graduate program?

Graduate students working toward the Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Washington are offered a flexible program, designed to prepare them for careers at the cutting edge of research and scholarship. While many students earn the M.S. in Psychology on the way to their Ph.D., we do not admit students in our Ph.D. program whose goal is a terminal Master's degree. For students interested in a Master's only degree, we have a  M.A. in Applied Child & Adolescent Psychology: Prevention & Treatment , which you can learn about by clicking here . 

Our graduate program is mentor-based. Students train under the direct guidance of one or more specific faculty members whose scholarly interests parallel their own. Prospective students are expected to identify faculty they view as potential mentors. The department is divided into seven general areas of study. Students apply to a specific area of study and not to the department as a whole. Students collaborate with their mentors and other faculty in their area of study to determine the coursework and training that best meets the student's career goals.

Psychology is a dynamic field. With its focus on the understanding of behavior of both humans and animals, our field is poised at the juncture between biological and social forces. New discoveries are constantly informing our work and changing the way we go about our business, whether in terms of theory, application, or methods. If you are curious, creative, and energetic, there is no better time for you to be pursuing advanced study in psychology. We welcome your interest.

PhD Program

A PhD degree in Physics is awarded in recognition of significant and novel research contributions, extending the boundaries of our knowledge of the physical universe. Selected applicants are admitted to the PhD program of the UW Department of Physics, not to a specific research group, and are encouraged to explore research opportunities throughout the Department.

Degree Requirements

Typical timeline, advising and mentoring, satisfactory progress, financial support, more information.

Applicants to the doctoral program are expected to have a strong undergraduate preparation in physics, including courses in electromagnetism, classical and quantum mechanics, statistical physics, optics, and mathematical methods of physics. Further study in condensed matter, atomic, and particle and nuclear physics is desirable. Limited deficiencies in core areas may be permissible, but may delay degree completion by as much as a year and are are expected to remedied during the first year of graduate study.

The Graduate Admissions Committee reviews all submitted applications and takes a holistic approach considering all aspects presented in the application materials. Application materials include:

• Resume or curriculum vitae, describing your current position or activities, educational and professional experience, and any honors awarded, special skills, publications or research presentations.
• Statement of purpose, one page describing your academic purpose and goals.
• Personal history statement (optional, two pages max), describing how your personal experiences and background (including family, cultural, or economic aspects) have influenced your intellectual development and interests.
• Three letters of recommendation: submit email addresses for your recommenders at least one month ahead of deadline to allow them sufficient time to respond.
• Transcripts (unofficial), from all prior relevant undergraduate and graduate institutions attended. Admitted applicants must provide official transcripts.
• English language proficiency is required for graduate study at the University of Washington. Applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate English proficiency. The various options are specified at: https://grad.uw.edu/policies/3-2-graduate-school-english-language-proficiency-requirements/ Official test scores must be sent by ETS directly to the University of Washington (institution code 4854) and be received within two years of the test date.

For additional information see the UW Graduate School Home Page , Understanding the Application Process , and Memo 15 regarding teaching assistant eligibility for non-native English speakers.

The GRE Subject Test in Physics (P-GRE) is optional in our admissions process, and typically plays a relatively minor role.  Our admissions system is holistic, as we use all available information to evaluate each application. If you have taken the P-GRE and feel that providing your score will help address specific gaps or otherwise materially strengthen your application, you are welcome to submit your scores. We emphasize that every application will be given full consideration, regardless of whether or not scores are submitted.

Applications are accepted annually for autumn quarter admissions (only), and must be submitted online. Admission deadline: DECEMBER 15, 2024.

Department standards

Course requirements.

Students must plan a program of study in consultation with their faculty advisor (either first year advisor or later research advisor). To establish adequate breadth and depth of knowledge in the field, PhD students are required to pass a set of core courses, take appropriate advanced courses and special topics offerings related to their research area, attend relevant research seminars as well as the weekly department colloquium, and take at least two additional courses in Physics outside their area of speciality. Seeking broad knowledge in areas of physics outside your own research area is encouraged.

The required core courses are:

In addition, all students holding a teaching assistantship (TA) must complete Phys 501 / 502 / 503 , Tutorials in Teaching Physics.

Regularly offered courses which may, depending on research area and with the approval of the graduate program coordinator, be used to satisfy breadth requirements, include:

• Phys 506 Numerical Methods
• Phys 555 Cosmology & Particle Astrophysics
• Phys 507 Group Theory
• Phys 557 High Energy Physics
• Phys 511 Topics in Contemporary Physics
• Phys 560 Nuclear Theory
• Phys 520 Quantum Information
• Phys 564 General Relativity
• Phys 550 Atomic Physics
• Phys 567 Condensed Matter Physics
• Phys 554 Nuclear Astrophysics
• Phys 570 Quantum Field Theory

Graduate exams

Master's Review:   In addition to passing all core courses, adequate mastery of core material must be demonstrated by passing the Master's Review. This is composed of four Master's Review Exams (MREs) which serve as the final exams in Phys 524 (SM), Phys 514 (EM), Phys 518 (QM), and Phys 505 (CM). The standard for passing each MRE is demonstrated understanding and ability to solve multi-step problems; this judgment is independent of the overall course grade. Acceptable performance on each MRE is expected, but substantial engagement in research allows modestly sub-par performance on one exam to be waived. Students who pass the Master's Review are eligible to receive a Master's degree, provided the Graduate School course credit and grade point average requirements have also been satisfied.

General Exam:   Adequate mastery of material in one's area of research, together with demonstrated progress in research and a viable plan to complete a PhD dissertation, is assessed in the General Exam. This is taken after completing all course requirements, passing the Master's Review, and becoming well established in research. The General Exam consists of an oral presentation followed by an in-depth question period with one's dissertation committee.

Final Oral Exam:   Adequate completion of a PhD dissertation is assessed in the Final Oral, which is a public exam on one's completed dissertation research. The requirement of surmounting a final public oral exam is an ancient tradition for successful completion of a PhD degree.

Graduate school requirements

Common requirements for all doctoral degrees are given in the Graduate School Degree Requirements and Doctoral Degree Policies and Procedures pages. A summary of the key items, accurate as of late 2020, is as follows:

• A minimum of 90 completed credits, of which at least 60 must be completed at the University of Washington. A Master's degree from the UW or another institution in physics, or approved related field of study, may substitute for 30 credits of enrollment.
• At least 18 credits of UW course work at the 500 level completed prior to the General Examination.
• At least 18 numerically graded UW credits of 500 level courses and approved 400 level courses, completed prior to the General Examination.
• At least 60 credits completed prior to scheduling the General Examination. A Master's degree from the UW or another institution may substitute for 30 of these credits.
• A minimum of 27 dissertation (or Physics 800) credits, spread out over a period of at least three quarters, must be completed. At least one of those three quarters must come after passing the General Exam. Except for summer quarters, students are limited to a maximum of 10 dissertation credits per quarter.
• A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 must be maintained.
• The General Examination must be successfully completed.
• A thesis dissertation approved by the reading committee and submitted and accepted by the Graduate School.
• The Final Examination must be successfully completed. At least four members of the supervisory committee, including chair and graduate school representative, must be present.
• Registration as a full- or part-time graduate student at the University must be maintained, specifically including the quarter in which the examinations are completed and the quarter in which the degree is conferred. (Part-time means registered for at least 2 credits, but less than 10.)
• All work for the doctoral degree must be completed within ten years. This includes any time spend on leave, as well as time devoted to a Master's degree from the UW or elsewhere (if used to substitute for credits of enrollment).
• Pass the required core courses: Phys 513 , 517 , 524 & 528 autumn quarter, Phys 514 , 518 & 525 winter quarter, and Phys 515 , 519 & 505 spring quarter. When deemed appropriate, with approval of their faculty advisor and graduate program coordinator, students may elect to defer Phys 525 , 515 and/or 519 to the second year in order to take more credits of Phys 600 .
• Sign up for and complete one credit of Phys 600 with a faculty member of choice during winter and spring quarters.
• Pass the Master's Review by the end of spring quarter or, after demonstrating substantial research engagement, by the end of the summer.
• Work to identify one's research area and faculty research advisor. This begins with learning about diverse research areas in Phys 528 in the autumn, followed by Phys 600 independent study with selected faculty members during winter, spring, and summer.
• Pass the Master's Review (if not already done) by taking any deferred core courses or retaking MREs as needed. The Master's Review must be passed before the start of the third year.
• Settle in and become fully established with one's research group and advisor, possibly after doing independent study with multiple faculty members. Switching research areas during the first two years is not uncommon.
• Complete all required courses. Take breadth courses and more advanced graduate courses appropriate for one's area of research.
• Perform research.
• Establish a Supervisory Committee within one year after finding a compatible research advisor who agrees to supervise your dissertation work.
• Take breadth and special topics courses as appropriate.
• Take your General Exam in the third or fourth year of your graduate studies.
• Register for Phys 800 (Doctoral Thesis Research) instead of Phys 600 in the quarters during and after your general exam.
• Take special topics courses as appropriate.
• Perform research. When completion of a substantial body of research is is sight, and with concurrence of your faculty advisor, start writing a thesis dissertation.
• Establish a dissertation reading committee well in advance of scheduling the Final Examination.
• Schedule your Final Examination and submit your PhD dissertation draft to your reading committee at least several weeks before your Final Exam.
• Take your Final Oral Examination.
• After passing your Final Exam, submit your PhD dissertation, as approved by your reading committee, to the Graduate School, normally before the end of the same quarter.

This typical timeline for competing the PhD applies to students entering the program with a solid undergraduate preparation, as described above under Admissions. Variant scenarios are possible with approval of the Graduate Program coordinator. Two such scenarios are the following:

• Students entering with insufficient undergraduate preparation often require more time. It is important to identify this early, and not feel that this reflects on innate abilities or future success. Discussion with one's faculty advisor, during orientation or shortly thereafter, may lead to deferring one or more of the first year required courses and corresponding Master's Review Exams. It can also involve taking selected 300 or 400 level undergraduate physics courses before taking the first year graduate level courses. This must be approved by the Graduate Program coordinator, but should not delay efforts to find a suitable research advisor. The final Master's Review decision still takes place no later than the start of the 3rd year and research engagement is an important component in this decision.
• Entering PhD students with advanced standing, for example with a prior Master's degree in Physics or transferring from another institution after completing one or more years in a Physics PhD program, may often graduate after 3 or 4 years in our program. After discussion with your faculty advisor and with approval of the Graduate Program coordinator, selected required classes may be waived (but typically not the corresponding Master's Review Exams), and credit from other institutions transferred.
• Each entering PhD student is assigned a first year faculty advisor, with whom they meet regularly to discuss course selection, general progress, and advice on research opportunities. The role of a student's primary faculty advisor switches to their research advisor after they become well established in research. Once their doctoral supervisory committee is formed, the entire committee, including a designated faculty mentor (other than the research advisor) is available to provide advice and mentoring.
• The department also has a peer mentoring program, in which first-year students are paired with more senior students who have volunteered as mentors. Peer mentors maintain contact with their first-year mentees throughout the year and aim to ease the transition to graduate study by sharing their experiences and providing support and advice. Quarterly "teas" are held to which all peer mentors and mentees are invited.
• While academic advising is primarily concerned with activities and requirements necessary to make progress toward a degree, mentoring focuses on the human relationships, commitments, and resources that can help a student find success and fulfillment in academic and professional pursuits. While research advisors play an essential role in graduate study, the department considers it inportant for every student to also have available additional individuals who take on an explicit mentoring role.
• Students are expected to meet regularly, at a minimum quarterly, with their faculty advisors (either first year advisor or research advisor).
• Starting in the winter of their first year, students are expected to be enrolled in Phys 600 .
• Every spring all students, together with their advisors, are required to complete an annual activities report.
• The doctoral supervisory committee needs to be established at least by the end of the fourth year.
• The General Exam is expected to take place during the third or fourth year.
• Students and their advisors are expected to aim for not more than 6 years between entry into the Physics PhD program and completion of the PhD. In recent years the median time is close to 6 years.

Absence of satisfactory progress can lead to a hierarchy of actions, as detailed in the Graduate School Memo 16: Academic Performance and Progress , and may jeopardize funding as a teaching assistant.

The Department aims to provide financial support for all full-time PhD students making satisfactory progress, and has been successful in doing so for many years. Most students are supported via a mix teaching assistantships (TAs) and research assistantships (RAs), although there are also various scholarships, fellowships, and awards that provide financial support. Teaching and research assistanships provide a stipend, a tuition waiver, and health insurance benefits. TAs are employed by the University to assist faculty in their teaching activities. Students from non-English-speaking countries must pass English proficiency requirements . RAs are employed by the Department to assist faculty with specified research projects, and are funded through research grants held by faculty members.

Most first-year students are provided full TA support during their first academic year as part of their admission offer. Support beyond the second year is typically in the form of an RA or a TA/RA combination. It is the responsibility of the student to find a research advisor and secure RA support. Students accepting TA or RA positions are required to register as full-time graduate students (a minimum of 10 credits during the academic year, and 2 credits in summer quarter) and devote 20 hours per week to their assistantship duties. Both TAs and RAs are classified as Academic Student Employees (ASE) . These positions are governed by a contract between the UW and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), and its Local Union 4121 (UAW).

Physics PhD students are paid at the "Assistant" level (Teaching Assistant or Research Assistant) upon entry to the program. Students receive a promotion to "Associate I" (Predoctoral Teaching Associate I or Predoctoral Research Associate I) after passing the Master's Review, and a further promotion to "Associate II" (Predoctoral Teaching Associate II or Predoctoral Research Associate II) after passing their General Examination. (Summer quarter courses, and summer quarter TA employment, runs one month shorter than during the academic year. To compendate, summer quarter TA salaries are increased proportionately.)

New Education Specialist program graduates first cohort

In 2021, the University of Washington Tacoma School of Education launched a new  Education Specialist degree (Ed.S.) in school psychology. It’s a graduate-level program that reflects a more comprehensive philosophy on the role of school psychologists in schools than many programs of its kind.

On June 7, the three-year program’s first cohort will graduate and enter the workforce. It’s a big milestone for the students and for Professor Laura Feuerborn, director of the program, who took the lead on creating the Ed.S. program seven years ago.

“I have been honored to witness the program — one of the few nationally that focus on promoting anti-racism, collaboration, equity and inclusion — thrive under Dr. Feuerborn's exceptional leadership,” said Dean Rachel Endo. “The inaugural cohort of students are equity-minded practitioner-scholars who will make a significant impact in our PK-12 schools and surrounding communities.”

Taking the emphasis off assessment

Dr. Feuerborn, who has a Ph.D. in school psychology from the University of Oregon, was first hired at UW Tacoma in 2006. Years later, she heard murmurs that a school psychology program was being proposed at UWT, at that point under a different administration.

“I was living in China during my sabbatical, and someone told me, ‘I don't think you'll like the way they're trying to do it,’” said Dr. Feuerborn.

According to  research conducted by the Washington State Association of School Psychologists (WSASP), most school psychologists in Washington are primarily tasked with administering assessments, like IQ tests, despite being equipped to provide a wider range of much-needed services.

“School psychologists are trained in mental health, social-emotional learning, crisis prevention and response, academic interventions, consultation, systems change, and in building infrastructure for equitable discipline,” said Dr. Feuerborn. “They’re really leaders and direct service providers, but in my experience in Washington, they're not being fully utilized.”

But, because of their unique testing expertise, school psychologists are primarily tasked with special-education evaluations. A shortage of school psychologists across the nation, and especially in Washington state, exacerbates their narrow roles in schools.

“In this region, there are far fewer school psychologists than we need. Evaluations are all they have time to do,” said Dr. Feuerborn.

Unfortunately, when assessment is overemphasized, it can leave school psychologists unsatisfied with their work and often perpetuates systemic inequities that have plagued schools for some time. As it stands, according to the National Center for Learning Disabilities, students of color, with the exception of Asian students, are  disproportionately identified for special education as compared with their White peers, suggesting there are major biases at play.

“School psychology has a problematic history of not being culturally responsive, or being deficit-focused. We’re trying to work against that, because it’s not inclusive or equitable to go into school and start identifying what's wrong with people,” said Dr. Feuerborn.

Redefining School Psychology

With this in mind, Dr. Feuerborn developed the Ed.S. in alignment with the newly-revised National Association of School Psychologists’ (NASP)  standards , which also consider the work of a school psychologist to be more diverse than administering evaluations to kids. The UW Tacoma Ed.S. program was the first in the nation to be reviewed by NASP under these standards. The goal of the Ed.S. program is not only to produce great school psychologists that center equity and data-based decision making, but hopefully to change the perceptions of the field in the community.

In the Ed.S. program, graduate students are taught how to assess and write reports, and they learn about child and adolescent development; how to create systems that support a child’s social, emotional and behavioral health; and how to provide interventions for students using a culturally responsive lens. In years two and three, students then apply their coursework in a practicum and internship in school districts in the surrounding area.

The program’s internship and practicum opportunities were sowed carefully by Dr. Feuerborn and her colleagues, who consistently reach out to the surrounding community to share the Ed.S. philosophy, transform perceptions of school psychology, and create lasting partnerships.

“The values of this program are really strengths-based. It’s about prevention, culturally responsive practices, and partnering with school communities to serve in ways that make a positive impact,” said Dr. Feuerborn. “Now we are having our practicum students and interns go out into the schools with this new concept of practice. So, part of my job is to make sure our partners are satisfied, our students are satisfied, and our instructors are satisfied.”

Prepared to Make an Impact

Though they’ve had to navigate cultural and philosophical differences about their roles from district to district, Seonyeong Kim and Daniel Akamine, two students in the first cohort, have been satisfied with their practicums, internships, and time overall in the program.

Kim first applied to the Ed.S. because she wanted to support kids from minoritized backgrounds and eventually take her skills back to her home country of Korea.

“In Korea, education is very competitive and I don't think students learn to cope. I saw so many of my friends suffering from mental health problems,” said Kim. “So, in the long-term, I hope to bring positive systems-level change in the U.S. and, eventually, Korea.”

In the beginning of Ed.S. program, Kim was a bit overwhelmed by the breadth of information they had to learn, but now at the tail-end of her third-year internship with Clover Park School District, she’s feeling well-equipped to make an impact as a school psychologist precisely because of the program’s comprehensiveness.

“I could practice advocacy, through assessments, consultation, and collaboration with families, in my internship. I started to feel confident and proud of myself and I could really see myself as a school psych. And that's when I started to see okay, we learned all this all this stuff and now I can apply it,” said Kim.

Likewise, Akamine said he “really enjoyed” his practicum experience with Tacoma Public Schools, which allowed him to try a variety of approaches including implementing and co-leading small group counseling for students with ADHD, and how to administer an FBA, or functional behavior assessment. He’s now completing his internship with Franklin Pierce School District.

When this first cohort graduates in June, they will have met the requirements for initial certification as a school psychologist in the state of Washington, setting them up to enter the workforce. Sure enough, Akamine and Kim already have job offers they’re considering.

“I would say it's been a very experimental process with a lot of collaboration. As the first cohort, we were in uncharted waters,” said Akamine. “But I do feel positive. I think they really prepared us.”

More About the M.S. in Educational Leadership

• More About This Degree

What is a master's in educational leadership?

A master's degree in educational leadership is a graduate program that prepares you for certification as a school principal or administrator. It gives you important skills and credentials to understand how to run the school in an efficient way. 

How long does it take to earn a master's in educational leadership?

Typical master's of educational leadership programs take 2 years to complete, but at some schools you may be able to accelerate and finish faster. For example, most WGU educational leadership students finish in just 18 months or less.

What can you do with an educational leadership degree?

An educational leadership degree can prepare you to become a vice principal, assistant principal, principal, or other administrator in education.

What can I expect from an online master's in educational leadership program?

What are the types of educational leadership.

Most educational leaders fall into a few categories of leadership including: servant leaders, transactional leaders, emotional leaders, and transformational leaders.

What are the functions of educational leadership?

Educational leadership is implemented to ensure that the entire school and system runs smoothly. Educational leaders are in place to create effective and robust places of teaching and learning where students feel safe and welcome. They ensure that the business end of a school runs well, while also ensuring that students and teachers feel confident as individuals.

What is educational leadership theory?

Educational leadership theory evaluates the different approaches to running schools and classrooms in ways that are effective for students and teachers alike.

What is meant by educational leadership?

Educational leadership is a joint effort utilizing the talents and expertise of educators, students, policy makers and the public at large to enhance public K-12 educational quality and systems. These enhancements are typically executed through improvements to training regiments, pedagogy, epistemology, and developmental psychology. A degree in educational leadership will focus on helping current teachers advance their knowledge and skills, giving them greater opportunities to influence policy and move into education careers that impact the future of learning.

What are the key qualities of educational leadership?

There are many qualities that an educational leader should exhibit. Qualities such as positivity, honesty, deep reflection, authenticity, integrity, passion, inclusivity, and a strong focus on community building and collaboration on educational issues are key to being a transformational educational leader. In an educational leadership degree program, you will focus on developing and honing these skills.

Should I get an online masters degree, or a graduate certificate?

Understanding your post bachelor educational possibilities is crucial if you have a specific goal in mind. For some, a post-graduate certificate can fulfill the requirements that are needed to teach a specific course or courses, by fulfilling a state or national licensing requirement, but a certificate is what is considered a non-degree award. As a result, if you have career goals that include additional advancements for your career beyond the classroom, you may need to consider if a certificate will provide you the ability to pursue those goals. 

A master’s degree in education can open the doors to school leadership roles as a principal or assistant principal, and in some states is even sufficient to be considered for roles as part of the superintendency. This is not typically true of a graduate certificate. Check your state guidelines to see your specific state’s educational requirements for leadership roles. 

Does WGU offer financial aid?

WGU is approved to offer  federal student aid . You will need to apply using the FAFSA, which is used to determine your eligibility for aid. WGU’s FAFSA school code is 033394.

Are there scholarships available?

Scholarships are available for new WGU students and returning graduates.  This video shows more  about scholarship opportunities and how they can help you pay for school. Get information on:

• How to apply
• Eligibility requirements
• Examples of scholarships
• What happens after you apply

How does tuition work at WGU?

WGU's tuition is a flat rate that is charged every six months. You can take as many courses as you are able in that six-month term—with no extra cost. You simply pay for the term and do as much work as you can or want to during that time. This means that finishing faster helps you save money—a major benefit you won't find at most other schools.

Admission criteria for graduate psychology programs are changing

There’s less emphasis on standardized testing and more on applicants’ lived experiences

Vol. 55 No. 4 Print version: page 23

Over the last few years, graduate psychology degree programs, both at the master’s and doctoral levels, have shifted their admission criteria from an emphasis on standardized testing to components that reflect applicants’ experiences. According to the most recent edition of Graduate Study in Psychology , 1 for 2022–23 applications, doctoral programs placed the highest importance on letters of recommendation (85%), personal statements (84%), and interviews (74%). Master’s psychology programs, by contrast, placed the highest importance on undergraduate GPAs (72%), letters of recommendation (71%), and statements of goals and objectives (68%).

In general, large percentages of graduate psychology programs reported that the GRE Verbal, Quantitative, Writing, and Subject scores were not criteria used in the admissions process for the 2022–23 admissions cycle. This represents a continuation of the trend of graduate psychology programs prioritizing criteria other than GRE scores in an attempt to remove potential systemic barriers and create a more equitable admissions process. 2, 3

The program is designed to support the development of researchers, educators, and scholar leaders as they acquire knowledge in the fields of cognitive psychology and the developmental sciences in an effort to meaningfully translate that knowledge to the most pressing issues in special education today.

As a doctoral student in our program, you'll collaborate with faculty in a variety of areas, including early childhood education, elementary, secondary and transition to post-secondary education, and working with culturally and linguistically diverse learners with exceptionalities. We also focus on students with various disabilities, such as emotional and behavioral challenges.

We're looking for students who are passionate about improving outcomes for children and families, and who are eager to work with transdisciplinary partners to advance research in this field.

My master’s led to policy work, a doctorate, and the decision to focus my skills, energy, and commitment on co-founding a middle school with a GSEHD colleague. In a Title I setting, we have designed and are delivering the best, comprehensive education model for students. Our project based, small group learning builds problem solving skills, a strong sense of community, and confidence. We draw no lines - all of our students - general and special education alike - learn to advocate for themselves.
