    About Bachelor of International and Multicultural Education

    The Ed.D. in International and Multicultural Education (IME) is dedicated to understanding formal and informal education within diverse sociocultural, linguistic, political and economic contexts. Based on principles of equity, social justice, and human rights, the program critically addresses the realities of education within and beyond the borders of public schooling in the United States and around the world. 

    Students outside the IME Department are able to develop a four-course sequence of IME courses in consultation with the Department Chair that fulfills the minor in IME requirements. Coursework can focus on issues of human rights; racial justice; or language and culture in education. Alternatively, students may opt for a sampling of courses across the IME curriculum that introduce key thematics in the field. Please note: the within-department concentrations of "Human Rights Education" and "Language and Culture" are only available to doctoral students officially enrolled in the IME Department.

    Graduates of the Ed. D. program will be able to:

    • Demonstrate a nuanced and integrative knowledge of human rights education and activism; race and ethnic studies; and language and culture
    • Identify, describe and critique critical social theory; critical and decolonizing pedagogies; theories of race, gender and intersectionality
    • Identify and employ methodological tools based in critical approaches to quantitative and qualitative research methods with a focus on community engaged scholarship.  Describe and apply alternative paradigms, such as participatory action research, teacher action research, testimonio, and critical ethnography
    • Synthesize contextual understandings, reflective analysis, theoretical frameworks, and methodological training to produce a doctoral dissertation.  Design and conduct research that contributes new knowledge to the academic field

    Requirements and Admission Criteria for Bachelor of International and Multicultural Education at University of San Francisco

    Entry Requirements

    • Official transcripts: You'll need a transcript from each school that you've attended, plus a certified translation if the transcript is not in English. Your school counselor may also directly email your transcript(s) and your school report to [email protected].

      We’ll accept unofficial transcripts as long as they are in PDF format and clearly show your full name, your school's name, your courses, and your grades. Unreadable or illegible PDF documents will not be accepted. If you are admitted to USF and you choose to enroll, you’ll be asked to provide your official final transcript.
    • English proficiency test scores: If English is not your native language, you are required to submit official results of the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, or Duolingo English test. Learn more about our English language proficiency requirements, including how to waive these requirements.
    • Certification of Finances: International students intending to study on an F-1 or J-1 visa must verify their ability to pay for their first year at USF. Learn more about the Certification of Finances.

      If you are intending to study at USF on a different visa (e.g. E-2, H-4, R-2, etc.), please email a copy of your visa to [email protected].
    • (Optional) Gap Year explanation: If you have taken, are currently taking, or plan to take a gap year or additional time off after completing high school, there is a section on the Common Application for you to explain how you have spent your time or how you plan to spend your time.
    • (Optional) SAT or ACT scores: USF does not require students to submit standardized test scores when applying for undergraduate admission.

      International students must still demonstrate English language proficiency by submitting an official TOEFL or IELTS score, or by meeting one of the waiver requirements listed on the English language proficiency page.

      If you do choose to submit your scores, you may have them sent directly from the testing agency, or you may send unofficial (self-reported) scores. You can send a screenshot of your test scores (name, test date, scores, and subscores must be visible), or have your counselor email us your score reports or an updated transcript with your scores to [email protected].

      The writing sections of the SAT are not used in the evaluation process. USF will continue to superscore both the SAT and ACT. If you submit both scores for our review, we will use the highest score available for our admission review.
