Educational Sustainability (EdD)

The UWSP doctoral program in Educational Sustainability demands a high level of intellectual engagement, self-management, professionalism, and effective communication in person, in writing, and online. Our program philosophy includes sustaining natural and human systems, engaging with communities, practicing servant leadership, and educating for pluralism. We request several kinds of evidence to demonstrate your fit with our program and your readiness to succeed.

Required:

• Application and Fee

• Master’s degree

• Minimum graduate GPA of 3.0 or higher

• Official Transcript(s) from all post-secondary institutions from degreed programs

• Letter of Intent (see website for specific content to address)

• Curriculum Vitae or Resume

• Name, phone, and email address of three professional references

• Interview

Optional Supporting Documentation:

• GRE Scores*

• Statement of relevant/equivalent work experience(s)

• Professional work sample(s) (e.g. peer reviewed articles, conference program and/or presentation, professional/community/organizational leadership)

*The School of Education recognizes standardized tests as one way for individuals to demonstrate their abilities. We also recognize some limits of any standardized test: a test may not measure some abilities, and particular individuals may have difficulty demonstrating their abilities via a test. When we indicate that a standardized test is optional, we neither want to encourage nor discourage submitting a score. Rather, we encourage each individual to provide what you believe is meaningful evidence of your abilities.
