Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Health and Inclusive Education (SHIE) Ph.D.

Type of degree, school or college, area of study, program format, credit hours to graduate.

UVM is recognized as one of the Best Graduate Schools for Education and Social Work by U.S. News and World Report

Program Overview

UVM's PhD in SHIE prepares highly trained experts with cutting-edge interdisciplinary methodological skills that address critical issues to enhance educational equity and inclusive education to promote the social, emotional, and behavioral health of children, youth, and adults (birth to age 21) impacted by adversity such as trauma, maltreatment, poverty, racism, and other forms of marginalization. 

SHIE graduates will be highly skilled in conducting meaningful research and prepare resilient educators and leaders to ensure the social, emotional and behavioral health of future generations.

Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Approach

Drawing on the disciplines, frameworks and research modalities of special education, social work, and public health, doctoral scholars will engage in interdisciplinary collaborations, training, and methodological rigor in advancing equity and inclusive education. Scholars will participate in applied research teams working to develop and test programs and practices in school and community settings. 

We place intentional emphasis on scholarship and activity that supports collaboration within the cohort and among our core faculty’s professional networks. Scholars will engage in in-person seminars, online learning, and professional conferences that support their success within the program while completing courses and fieldwork that prepares them to conduct rigorous and meaningful research.

Fulfilling a Critical Need

The American Association for Employment in Education indicates the need for specially trained practitioners in special education and social, emotional, and behavioral health exceeds the supply of specialists. The recent pandemic exacerbated longstanding shortages in university faculty with expertise in inclusive education. The overall result is diminished school capacity which challenges the wellbeing of children, youth, and their families that falls disproportionately on students of color and students with disabilities.

SHIE Scholar Spotlight

“I love building relationships with kids, especially the ones having a tough time. Building a relationship with a student who is experiencing many feelings means knowing that whenever they come to my classroom, they are safe, appreciated and valued—and we are learning something.” – SHIE Scholar Emily West Geary
