Doctoral programs
The doctoral programs at the GSE produce educational research that is both rigorous and relevant to educational policy and practice. Leading to a PhD degree, the doctoral programs are internally organized in three academic areas and two cross-area specializations, and offer several other academic opportunities.

Our cross-area specializations and joint-degree offerings with other Stanford schools leverage the university's vast intellectual resources to provide students with an integrated program of study.
