Admission – WI Idea Executive PhD
The Department expects that student candidates for the Wisconsin Idea Executive PhD Cohort already hold a master’s degree and/or principal’s license. The coursework in the cohort program is designed to build on this foundational experience.
Because the Department designed the cohort program for participants who already have an initial certification, we assume that participants have already achieved some of the requirements. If you do not hold an administrative license and would like us to review your course work to determine what courses would be accepted into the program, we would be glad to do so. Fax transcripts to the attention of Shari Smith (fax 608-265-3135). Be sure to indicate you are interested in the Executive PhD Cohort.
You will find all directions for applying to the program on the ELPA web site. See the Department's general admission requirements.
If you have questions relating to admissions, please contact Shari Smith, Student Services Coordinator,
ssmith@education.wisc.edu or 608-263-2701.
As part of the admissions process, you need to take the general GRE (Graduate Record Examination). We are only interested in the verbal and quantitative scores.
See other available downloadable forms to facilitate the process.
