The activities of scholars and professionals in the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education are woven together by a common thread: a commitment to reshaping schooling from kindergarten through twelfth grade so that all children in our diverse society have knowledge and abilities to become competent and responsible citizens. The Gevirtz Graduate School of Education (GGSE) goals are to produce and disseminate new theories and knowledge, and provide guidance and experience needed to allow our graduate students to reach their full potential as researchers and practitioners. Graduate students in the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education benefit from the wide range of faculty interests and research, and from opportunities to work closely with faculty to research and study in depth a chosen area of work.
The faculty, students, and staff of the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education are actively engaged in numerous K-12 and community-based research efforts, currently supported by nearly $3 million of extramural support. These research efforts are assisted by the GGSE Office of Research and provide financial support as well as training for our students.
The Gevirtz Graduate School of Education offers advanced degrees and credentials as indicated in the table in this chapter. A complete list of degrees and programs offered in the School appears in the Academic Units section. Program offerings are subject to available funding.
The Gevirtz Graduate School of Education has an active Graduate Student Association in Education (GGSAE) officially representing the "student voice" to the GGSE and the UCSB community. It is a body where students work and meet together to address pertinent issues. In addition to addressing issues of an administrative, academic, or political nature, students involved in GGSAE promote a positive "student life", encouraging participation and mutual support among students. The goals are to make participation rewarding, challenging, and supportive; to be a representative, democratic, and participatory organization where decisions are made by consensus, where all members have a voice in decision making, and where the body represents all student voices; to have a cooperative and open relationship with the faculty and staff, based on mutual respect; and to aid the GGSE in its responsibility to recruit and support diverse and underrepresented populations.
The GGSE Student Affairs Office provides assistance to all master's and doctoral candidates. Information may be obtained by calling (805) 893-2137. For information on the M.Ed. in Teaching, call (805) 893-2084.
The GGSE credential advisor provides information to prospective applicants and students in credential programs. Those interested in pursuing a teaching credential at UCSB should contact the credential advisor as soon as they begin to consider the teaching profession. Information about pre-credential advising meetings for prospective elementary or secondary teachers may be obtained from the Teacher Education Office at (805) 893-2084.
Candidates who are pursuing both a credential and an advanced degree, other than the M.Ed. with an emphasis in Teaching, need to consult with both the GGSE Student Affairs Office and credential advisor. Advanced credential applicants may be considered for any degree program in the Department of Education. Those interested in emphases other than a Multiple or Single subject credential should contact the GGSE Student Affairs Office or the degree emphasis in which they are most interested.
Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution and satisfy the admissions requirements of the UCSB Graduate Division. Some emphases require possession of a California teaching credential or its equivalent, and may require teaching or other appropriate experience.
All GGSE programs require FALL quarter admission, except for the TEP M.Ed., Administrative Services Credentials (ASC), and Educational Specialist Credential programs, which require SUMMER admission. Applicants are advised to apply well in advance of the application deadline and should contact the Students Affairs Office for general admission requirements. Specific questions in regard to program/emphasis requirements and course offerings should be directed to the program office.

The Gevirtz Graduate School of Education offers an Education and Applied Psychology Minor. The minor is designed for students who want to work with research faculty and learn more about issues confronting education, for students preparing for a teaching career in elementary or secondary education or exploring a career in education, and for students exploring a career in counseling, clinical or school psychology. The minor requires a minimum of 18 units including three core courses (one of which must be a practicum) and electives. There are three tracks in the minor: General Education, Teacher Preparation and Applied Psychology (Counseling, Clinical and School Psychology). For additional information, contact the GGSE Student Affairs Office, (805) 893-2137.
Degree and Credential Programs
The Department of Education offers two doctoral degrees: the doctor of philosophy in education; and the doctor of philosophy in counseling/clinical/school psychology, as well as a combined M.A./Ph.D. degree. As of fall 2003, a joint doctoral program (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership with Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, will be available through the Department of Education. Students admitted to an M.A./Ph.D. program may elect to exit the program with completion of the master's, except for the Ph.D. in Counseling/Clinical/School Psychology. The Ph.D. programs prepare highly capable individuals to perform as scholars and skilled professionals in their chosen fields.
The Department of Education also offers the master of arts and the master of education degrees in selected emphasis areas. Master's degree programs are designed to enhance academic and research competencies of elementary or secondary school teachers and other educational leaders. Previous teaching experience is required for some emphases. Advanced credentials may be pursued in addition to the master's degree in some emphases.
In addition to departmental requirements, candidates for graduate degrees and credentials must meet the University degree requirements found in the Graduate Education at UCSB section.
Degree Requirements
Students must achieve a grade-point average of 3.0 to be awarded a graduate degree. There is no language requirement. However, when advisors deem it suitable for a candidate's field of study, an appropriate level of foreign language competency may be required.
After completion of coursework, M.A. and M.Ed. candidates are expected to take a final comprehensive examination, or complete a thesis or project. M.A. and M.Ed. candidates must complete 30 or more units of upper-division and graduate level course work (with a minimum of 20 graduate units) under the thesis option, or 36-48 units of upper-division and graduate level course work (with a minimum of 24 graduate units) under the non-thesis option. Independent study units numbered 597-599 are ineligible to be counted in these totals. Students admitted to the M.A./Ph.D. are periodically evaluated for their readiness to progress to the Ph.D. level of study. Continuation is based on success in the master's program, suitability of goals, and anticipated success in the Ph.D. program.
No specific total number of course units is prescribed for a doctoral degree. Particular requirements will be made by faculty advisors in cases where students need specialized skills in foreign language or other areas. Doctoral students must pass qualifying examinations to be advanced to candidacy. Doctoral candidates must conduct original research and write an acceptable dissertation to be awarded the Ph.D.
Residence Requirements
Three quarters of registration are required for the master's degree. The minimum residence requirement for the Ph.D. is two years spent in full-time study and research. Two consecutive quarters of enrollment in the UCSB Summer Session can be used to count toward one regular quarter of registration. A minimum of three consecutive quarters of residency must be completed in regular sessions before advancement to candidacy.
The Counseling/Clinical/School Psychology Program offers courses of study leading to the Ph.D. with an emphasis in either counseling psychology, clinical psychology, or school psychology, or a master of education (M.Ed.) in education with an emphasis in school psychology. An M.A. or M.Ed. (non-terminal), open only to continuing CCSP students completing the Ph.D., is also available. Ph.D. students may also pursue an optional emphasis in human development. The emphases in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, or school psychology, share knowledge bases and core skills. The UCSB Counseling/Clinical/School Psychology Program has been accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) since 1991. The Ph.D. program is designated and approved as a combined Professional Psychology program and follows a scientist-practitioner model of training. During the first year, students take a set of courses that are designed to provide basic preparation in these common domains. Beginning in the second year and increasingly thereafter, each student selects courses that comprise a specialization in either counseling, clinical, or school psychology.
Submission of a completed background questionnaire (sent with application materials) is required in addition to the regular application materials. Interviews will be scheduled for qualified applicants who meet admission criteria and have interests well suited to faculty interests. Alternatives to the interview may be arranged for those unable to attend due to excessive distance.
Students pursuing a degree in education with an emphasis in school psychology focus upon the implications of research findings in psychology and education for psychological services primarily in school settings. The school psychologist is viewed as pivotal in the provision of comprehensive support services to teachers, students, and parents. Comprehensive support service includes prevention, assessment, and intervention programs for all children. A primary objective is to train school psychologists to enhance the learning and development of students and to assist those who are at risk or in need of special education services. Students are admitted to an M.Ed. degree in Education and the Pupil Personnel Services credential with specialization in school psychology, approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the National Association of School Psychologists. Students enrolled in other education programs may also petition to add this credential option, with admission contingent upon space availability.
The Graduate Program in Education is built around an active community of scholarsstudents, faculty and staffwho are committed to the common goal of reshaping schooling so that all children in our diverse society will have the knowledge and abilities to become competent and productive citizens. Graduate students in the Program benefit from a wide range of faculty interests and research endeavors, and from opportunities to work closely with faculty to explore rigorously, through research and study, a chosen area of work.
The Education Program offers six different but complementary M.A. and Ph.D. emphases in the areas of research, development, and practice. Beginning fall 2003, a joint Ed.D. with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo will be offered.
The major purpose of this emphasis is to foster students' understanding of how cultural processes influence learning, development, and education in both school and non-school settings. The emphasis offers a multidisciplinary perspective that brings anthropological, linguistic, psychological, and sociological theories to studies of cultural contexts of education. Areas of specific focus include studies of learning, development, and education in multilingual and multicultural populations, and in students from underrepresented groups, within national and/or international settings. Through research, teaching, and community service, the members of this emphasis seek to improve educational opportunities at a local and national level.
The Child and Adolescent Development Emphasis focuses on age-related changes throughout the lifespan and their implications for education. Faculty are committed to a model of development spanning multiple settings (cultural groups, historical periods, neighborhoods, activities) to find commonalities as well as differences in human behavior. They are interested in the transactional relations among macrosocial, cultural, and biological influences on development. Issues of diversitycross-cultural, cross-national, and genderare a major focus of faculty research.
The core group of students will be grounded in theory and research on the major domains of study: cognitive, language, and social development. Students will be presented with a range and variety of theoretical perspectives on human development. However, students are also expected to look both beyond core requirements and outside of the Department of Education for additional training in research and theories that address their particular research interests.
This emphasis prepares students who will teach and conduct research in institutions of higher education, assume leadership positions in educational organizations, and work in government and non-profit agencies that conduct policy analysis and evaluation research. ELO stresses a balanced focus on disciplined-based theory, an understanding of education in its social and political context, and skills for framing and conducting evaluation and research. ELO also provides professional training for those seeking careers in school administration.
The ELO curriculum prepares students who will take positions in academic or policy organizations with strong analytical and research skills as well as an understanding of the "real world" circumstances that shape the policies and educational practices they study. At the same time, ELO combines an emphasis on content knowledge and practical leadership skills needed by effective educational administrators, while also stressing theoretical and research skills that will make them better problem-solvers and users of valid professional knowledge.
Opportunity to Combine Administrative Services Credential (ASC) with M.A. or Ph.D. programs
UCSB is unique among institutions in the Central Coast that offer students an opportunity to pursue either an ASC Tier I or Tier II Credential and be enrolled in a first rate Ph.D. or M.A. degree program. See ASC program descriptions listed under Service Credentials.
UCSB/Cal Poly Joint Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.)
The purpose of the Ed.D. program is to provide advanced graduate-level study of educational leadership concepts and their application to schools and school agencies. The program is deliberately designed as a collaborative endeavor among Cal Poly, UCSB, and school partners, blending theoretical and research perspectives with practical application to address authentic problems. Graduates from this program will typically pursue employment in leadership and administrative roles in K-12 schools, community colleges, universities, government agencies, and other allied organizations.
The Ed.D.curriculum will equip students with a broad understanding of extant research and theory on leadership, as well as professional knowledge and problem-solving approaches relevant to education. Students will be trained to use research to solve educational and organizational problems; to design, develop, implement and evaluate educational policies and programs; and to effectively manage learning and instructional programs in K-16 organizations. The Ed.D. program will also offer students the option of completing coursework that will enable them to qualify for the Professional Administrative Services Credential from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
This emphasis is intended to prepare students to be research methodologists who will be able to work successfully in universities, private research organizations, and government agencies. A goal of the Research Methodology emphasis is to provide students with a variety of perspectives on research methods.
The emphasis includes two basic courses of study: (1) Educational Statistics and Measurement and (2) Qualitative and Interpretive Research. Students in Educational Statistics and Measurement will learn to apply statistical analyses to educational data, including large-scale student achievement surveys, and will learn to apply psychometric theory to the development of educational and psychological measurement instruments and to the analysis of test data. Students in Qualitative and Interpretive Research will learn about such research approaches as interviewing techniques, ethnographic methods, discourse analysis, narrative analysis, and participant observation. Students who specialize in Qualitative and Interpretive Research must also be accepted into another emphasis offered in the program.
Special Education, Disabilities and Risk Studies Emphasis (SpEDR)
This emphasis is concerned with educating researchers and practitioners who will be knowledgeable, and further expand our knowledge, regarding the educational needs of students with disabilities or who are at educational risk. The program philosophy is that researchers and practitioners need a contextualized view of students, within their school, home, and community, to understand their individual needs as well as the needs of the systems which are serving them. In this emphasis, students will obtain a multi-disciplinary perspective on children with special needs and their schools, families, and communities, through the combined efforts and knowledge of professionals from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. Graduate students will be grounded in theories of typical and atypical development.
Teaching and Learning Emphasis (T&L)
This emphasis seeks to provide students with the knowledge and competencies needed to contribute to education in multiple ways. These roles include teaching, conducting research, and using teaching and learning theories and empirical findings to improve educational practices. Students in this emphasis learn to design and evaluate curricula, develop and research models of teacher education, research teaching methods, evaluate theories of human activity in teaching and learning settings, and attempt to understand educational reform issues from multiple perspectives. Students can further specialize in one of four areas: Language, Literacy, and Composition Studies; Mathematics Education; Science Education; and Teaching and Teacher Education. Through research, teaching, and community service, members of the Teaching and Learning Emphasis strive to improve educational opportunities at the local, state, and national levels.

Its goal is to give students an appreciation of the interdisciplinary study of thinking, perception, and intelligent behavior, as determined jointly by the nature of the environment and by the internal architecture of the intelligent agent, whether human, animal, or machine. The program features a structured set of courses, which are taught individually and collaboratively by faculty from a variety of disciplines.
Students who petition to add the emphasis in cognitive science must fulfill the following requirements in addition to the requirements of the Ph. D. in their home department: (1) participation for at least three quarters in Proseminar Interdisciplinary 200; (2) completion of at least three cognitive science elective courses with one each in three different departments; (3) completion of either (a) a research project, completed before the dissertation, resulting in a publishable paper, or (b) an extramural grant proposal for a study in cognitive science suitable for submission to an identified granting agency; (4) presentation of a research paper in a suitable academic forum, such as an emphasis or departmental colloquium, or a professional meeting; and (5) a Ph.D. dissertation centrally focused on a question emerging from cognitive science with at least two committee members representing faculty participating in the cognitive science interdisciplinary emphasis.
Students pursuing a Ph.D. in this department may petition to add an interdisciplinary emphasis in human development. The Interdisciplinary Program in Human Development (IHD) involves faculty from the Ph.D. programs in communication, counseling/clinical/school psychology, education, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. The program focuses on developmental theory and research across the lifespan.
Students who petition to add the emphasis in human development must fulfill the following requirements in addition to the requirements for the Ph.D. in their home department: (1) six quarters of proseminar Interdisciplinary 592; (2) four courses in addition to the proseminar, two of which must be outside the student's home department; (3) a minimum of one member of the student's doctoral committee must be a ladder faculty member officially affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Program in Human Development.

Students pursuing a Ph.D. in the Departments of Education, Linguistics, or Sociology may petition their department to add an interdisciplinary emphasis in language, interaction, and social organization (LISO). This emphasis draws upon three approaches: interactional functional linguistics, ethnomethodology and conversational analysis, and interactional sociolinguistics.
In addition to the emphasis requirements, students must satisfy the requirements for the Ph.D. in their home department. Work in satisfaction of departmental Ph.D. requirements may also be used to satisfy emphasis requirements.
The emphasis requires three quarters of Education/Linguistics/Sociology 274, Proseminar in Language, Interaction, and Social Organization, for credit; a minimum of three elective LISO courses from the list below, one from each of the student's non-home departments, and the third a designated methods course in any of the three departments (for designated methods courses, please see a LISO faculty member): Linguistics 201, 209, 212, 214, 227, 228, 230, 237, 263, 266, or 273A-B, Education 221B-C, 270G, or 270H, Sociology 236, 236I, 236V, 242, 263, 273A-B (note that Sociology 236 is a prerequisite to the subsequent courses in the Sociology series); one presentation in Education/Linguistics/Sociology 274, which may be either a research paper or a guided data session; Students must complete a research project; the project must be supervised by at least one participating faculty member. This requirement can be satisfied in either of two ways: (a) Completion of a paper reporting a post-M.A. research project which presents an analysis of interactional data and displays command of the relevant literature. It must be written up in publishable form, though actual publication is not a requirement. (b) Successfully defend a dissertation centrally addressed to questions concerning language, interaction, and social organization; at least one member of the student's qualifying examination and dissertation committee must be a faculty member affiliated with LISO.
Questions or requests for additional information may be directed either to a participating faculty member or to LISO, c/o the Department of Sociology, UCSB, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9430.
