Courses offered by the Graduate School of Education are listed under the subject code EDUC on the Stanford Bulletin's Explore Courses web site.

The Stanford Graduate School of Education is a leader in pioneering new and better ways to achieve high-quality education for all. Faculty and students engage in groundbreaking and creative interdisciplinary scholarship that informs how people learn and shapes the practice and understanding of education. Through state-of-the-art research and innovative partnerships with educators worldwide, the school develops knowledge, wisdom, and imagination in its diverse and talented students so they can lead efforts to improve education around the globe.

Three graduate degrees with specialization in education are granted by the University: Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy.

While no undergraduate majors are offered, the school offers courses for undergraduates, an undergraduate minor and an undergraduate honors program.

The Graduate School of Education is organized into three area committees: Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education (CTE); Developmental and Psychological Sciences (DAPS); and Social Sciences, Humanities, and Interdisciplinary Policy Studies in Education (SHIPS).

In addition, several cross-area programs are sponsored by faculty from more than one area. These programs include the doctoral program in Learning Sciences and Technology Design (LSTD); the doctoral program in Race, Inequality, and Language in Education (RILE); two master’s level programs, the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP) and the Learning, Design, and Technology Program (LDT); and the undergraduate honors and minor programs.

These area committees function as administrative units that act on admissions, plan course offerings, assign advisers, monitor student academic progress, and determine program requirements. Various concentrations exist within most of these areas. Faculty members are affiliated primarily with one area but may participate in several programs. While there is a great deal of overlap and interdisciplinary emphasis across areas and programs, students are affiliated with one area committee or program and must meet its degree requirements.

Detailed information about admission and degree requirements, faculty members, and specializations related to these area committees and programs can be found in the Academics section of the School's web site.

The Graduate School of Education offers no correspondence or extension courses, and in accordance with University policy, no part-time enrollment is allowed. Work in an approved internship or as a research assistant is accommodated within the full-time program of study.

Undergraduate Programs in Education

The Graduate School of Education offers a minor and an honors program at the undergraduate level. Further information about these programs can be found at the Graduate School of Education web site.

Regardless of whether they are enrolled in one of these undergraduate programs, undergraduates are also welcome in many graduate-level courses at the GSE.

Graduate Programs in Education

The Graduate School of Education offers Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in several programs (see "Master’s" and "Doctoral" tabs on this page). University and Graduate School of Education requirements must be met for each degree. The University requirements are detailed in the “Graduate Degrees” section of this bulletin. Students are urged to read this section carefully, noting residency, tuition, and registration requirements. A student who wishes to enroll for graduate work in the Graduate School of Education must be admitted to graduate standing by one of the school’s area committees and with the approval of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. All Graduate School of Education courses are intended for matriculated students in degree programs only.

Complete information about admissions procedures and requirements is available from Graduate Admissions, or at the Graduate School of Education web site. Applicants to all programs, except for applicants to the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP), must submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination General Test (verbal, quantitative, and analytical or analytical writing areas); TOEFL scores are also required from those whose first language is not English. Applicants to the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP) are also required to submit specific test scores or acceptable equivalents as required by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing; see the section on STEP. Test information is available at the Graduate School of Education web site. The Graduate School of Education takes a holistic approach to admissions by comprehensively evaluating the academic preparation, experiences, and potential of all applicants.

Graduate Advising

Doctoral Advising

These advising norms started with students entering Autumn 2019.

·         A team advising approach allows students to develop working relationships with a greater diversity of faculty members.

·         The adoption of team advising creates a distribution of work paired with a dynamic distribution of intellectual expertise.

·         The explicit framing of advising expectations and norms supports students and faculty in finding common ground and shared expectations.

·         Students and their academic advisors are expected to meet a minimum of two meetings per quarter.

·         Students and their support advisors are expected to meet a minimum of one time per quarter.

Advising Structure

First-year Advising Teams

In the first year, students work with an advising team. The lead advisor, a support advisor, and a student mentor serve the role of assisting students in their matriculation into graduate study. Students meet with lead advisors a minimum of twice per quarter, and with support advisors a minimum of once per quarter.

Ph.D. Advising Teams

After year one, students select their advising team. The primary advisor is expected to serve the role of the primary academic mentor for the student. The secondary advisor(s) support students as they progress through their second to fifth year academic milestones. The primary advisor and student are expected to meet twice per quarter. The secondary advisor(s) are expected to meet a minimum of once per quarter. Members of the first-year advising team do not have to be the same as those for the Ph.D. advising team. It is not unusual for students to switch to different advisors.

Advising Guidelines

In an effort to provide students with a high standard of academic advising support, advisors and students work to build a shared expectation of best advising practices. The goal is to establish clearly communicated pathways between students and their faculty advisors.

Faculty advisors are expected to:

Provide intellectual guidance:

·         help students develop academic and professional skills expected by the discipline;

·         guide students to design research experiences that build on their interests;

·         encourage collaboration, where appropriate, that entails the sharing of authorship or rights to intellectual property developed in research or other creative or artistic activity;

·         encourage students to be open about any problems in their work relationships, including with an advisor, and actively help to resolve those problems;

·         be aware of and direct students to University resources to support students;

·         provide students with timely, regular, and constructive feedback on academic products.

Assist students with knowledge of Stanford and GSE policies and practices:

·         familiarize themselves with relevant policies; consult with the Student Handbook and Academic Services Office;

·         review students’ graduate study program and help students with course selection;

·         help students understand the degree program’s requirements and make timely progress to degree;

·         discuss authorship policy in advance of entering into collaborative projects.

Demonstrate care for student wellness:

·         check-in with student to see how they are experiencing the program;

·         create space for students to share challenges;

·         refer students to campus resources as needed.

Assist students in preparation for the job market:

·         when possible, discuss the norms and expectations of the academic field students are entering;

·         assist students in preparation of research presented at conferences and in professional publications;

·         guide students in acquiring the professional skills necessary for conducting high quality research;

·         refer students to the EdCareers Office for career exploration and coaching.

Demonstrate professional academic behavior:

·         maintain timely communication with advisees;

·         set and consistently honor professional commitment and meetings in a timely manner;

·         facilitate graduate students’ timely academic progress toward degree completion;

·         model appropriate interaction with students, staff, and faculty.

Students are expected to:

Understand scope of faculty advisors’ role.

·         recognize that advisors provide the intellectual environment in which students learn and conduct research;

·         understand that faculty advisors are responsible for monitoring the accuracy, validity, and integrity of the students’ academic work, and, in the case of research, ensuring that the contributions of all participants are properly acknowledged in publications;

·         respect the time constraints and other demands on faculty members and staff;

·         publish results of work done under the advisors’ direction and/or in the advisors’ studio or laboratory only after consultation with advisors;

·         arrange meetings or communicate via other mechanisms with faculty advisors as often as necessary to keep the advisors informed of any factors that might affect their academic progress, including research or time to degree.

Be responsible for understanding and adhering to policies, requirements, and practices governing their degree and course requirements, financial support, and research activities.

·         consult University and school policies and handbooks for students;

·         fulfill the expectations of policies and requirements, seeking clarification from faculty advisors and staff when necessary.

Exercise high professional standards.

·         observe and adhere to the University's policies on academic integrity, professional conduct, and the responsible conduct of research;

·         acknowledge the contributions of faculty advisors and other members of the research team to students’ work in all publications and conference presentations;

·         acknowledge sources of financial support;

·         maintain the confidentiality of the faculty advisors' professional activities, including research, creation of original works and other creative endeavors, in accordance with existing practices and policies of the discipline;

·         informing faculty advisors of conflicts, and work towards a clear resolution;

·         interact with students, staff, and faculty colleagues in a professional manner to create a respectful work environment.
