PhD in Astrophysical Sciences and Technology

 

There has never been a more exciting time to study the universe beyond the confines of the earth. A new generation of advanced ground-based and space-borne telescopes and enormous increases in computing power are enabling a golden age of astrophysics. RIT’s doctorate program in astrophysical sciences and technology focuses on the underlying physics of phenomena beyond the earth, and in the development of the technologies, instruments, data analysis, and modeling techniques that will enable the next major strides in the field. The multidisciplinary emphasis of this program sets it apart from conventional astrophysics graduate programs at traditional research universities.... [-]

The Doctor of Education degree (Ed.D.) prepares education scholars and leaders for the 21st century. The Ed.D. is focused on the development of educational environments and aims to train doctoral students with a broad and solid multidisciplinary foundation, to understand the problem of creating and implementing new learning systems combining different kinds of learning deliveries. Students conduct cutting-edge studies that address the most pressing issues in education. Upon completion of the program, graduates can take positions as university faculty, senior-level educational leaders, and policymakers. Program Objectives Training Prepare doctoral students for the design and implementation of new learning environments and high effective educational systems. Knowledge Management Promote Knowledge Management (KM) as the process to recognize, organize and use knowledge assets within the educational institution to improve the learning environments. Innovation Develop innovation environments through the technologies tools and new educational models. Research Improvement of education through the research and development of educational systems and environments of the highest quality.
