The program will help lead those professionals in the field of educational instruction development and presentation.
Students will receive training to prepare them to examine and research the interdisciplinary issues and perspectives of learning, teaching and curricular development associated with education for culturally and economically diverse populations.
The proposed program will draw from an applicant pool of K-12 teachers and community college instructors from the San Antonio area and across the nation. Admission into the Ph.D. program will be limited, and therefore competitive.
"UTSA is dedicated to addressing the educational needs of South Texas by developing programs that support the economic growth of the region while continuing to listen to the requests of our students," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo.
