Developmental Education (Developmental Literacy Concentration)

About

Overview Developmental Education (Developmental Literacy Concentration) at Texas State University aims to advance theory, research, and practice in multiple areas of developmental education — including developmental literacy, learning support, and developmental mathematics — by actively engaging students in teaching, scholarship, and professional service. As a multidisciplinary program, the faculty, staff, and students work collaboratively across various academic disciplines, diverse communities, and geographic boundaries.AdvisingAdvising takes three forms: the initial advisor, the program mentor, and the dissertation advisor. When students are first admitted, they are assigned an initial advisor who mentors them from entry through their first year benchmarks in the program.

At a time no later than the completion of their comprehensive exams, students then select a dissertation advisor who is the chair of their dissertation committee, which must be formed at that time. These advising roles can be assumed by the same faculty member or different faculty members depending on students’ research interests and foci.
