Teaching and Research

Teaching

PhD students gain teaching experience by leading lab sessions for MA students (especially in quantitative methods) and serving as teaching assistants by teaching undergraduate courses. The University's Center for Teaching and Learning Services also offers developmental opportunities.

Research

During their years in the doctoral program, students are expected to actively participate with advisers and other faculty members in research projects with the goal of publishing the results. Students should also attend national academic conferences.

To get a sense of the research being undertaken at Minnesota, PhD applicants are encouraged to explore the faculty profiles.
