Doctoral students who find it advantageous to include comparative and international education content, methods, and policy analysis in their program of study may complete a minor in CIED.

Doctoral CIED minor students will complete a minimum of 15 CIED credits with study in the following curriculum categories:

  • 3 credits, CIED Pro-Seminar

  • 6 credits, advanced comparative and international education content courses

  • 6 credits, advanced or focused comparative and international education content courses.

Doctoral CIED minor students must include a CIED representative on the doctoral committee in the role of “Minor Field Member.” The chair may not be the sole CIED representative on the doctoral committee; he or she must represent the major program and therefore cannot also represent CIED. If the chair is a CIED faculty member, the student must select another CIED faculty member to be the minor field member. Indicate on the CIED Doctoral Committee form, obtained from the CIED program office, which CIED faculty member has agreed to serve as the minor field member.
