DATE: 201 1 October 25
Please find attached a calendar change for the Languages, Cultures and Literacies
(Doctor of Philosophy) program. We are requesting a change to the program
requirements.

Rationale for Calendar Change:
Currently doctoral students in the Languages, Cultures and Literacies program complete EDUC 866-5, and the two
pre-requisite courses, EDUC 864 and EDUC 867. We have found that the three required two-credit research courses
(EDUC 926-2,927-2,928-2) plus EDUC 867-5 sufficiently prepares students to undertake their thesis research.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Calendar Change From:
Languages, Cultures and Literacies (Doctor of Philosophy) Program
Doctor of philosophy (PhD) degrees signify the acquisition of advanced knowledge in a field of specialization and
advanced competence in conducting significant and original education research. This program offers educators and
researchers the opportunity to focus on the cultural and linguistic diversity that characterizes contemporary
classrooms. The program provides opportunities for students to participate in ongoing research and ultimately to
conduct their own research regarding how diversity might be recognized, strengthened and taken as a resource in
public education. Courses offer a range of opportunities to question meanings and practices of social difference
including those based on race, gender, language, class, and sexuality.
This program requires successful completion of 23 units of course work culminating in a comprehensive examination
and a doctoral thesis.
Admission Requirements
See graduate general reflation 1.3 for University admission requirements. In exceptional circumstances, applicants
who do not meet these requirements may be considered if superior scholarly or professional achievement is
demonstrated.
Graduate education admission is granted to a specific degree and to a particular program or specialization. Updated
application information is available November 15 at www.educ.sfM .rc./gradprogs/dortoml. All applications are
reviewed once a year. Completed applications must be received by January
15.
